Ouch. Omitting a "not" is one of my favourite mistakes. I should read a mail more carefully before sending it. As Henning already guessed, I meant that the message from the ohci1394 should _not_ affect the scanner stuff. > This is a scanner that I bought at a thrift store, so I do not know what kind > of shape it is in.

Using the SCSI 7 will in most cases cause a mess: Every device on a SCSI bus, including the host computer, needs a unique ID, and the host has by default the ID 7. That could be the cause of some of your problems. cheers Abel
