Greetings, I have a Umax Scanner Astra 1200S that is attached to a Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. The scanner is recognized at boot and works perfectly in Red-hat 6.1 which I also have running on my machine. I am unable to get it to work with Mandrake 7.1 though.It is recognized by Mandrake at boot also. When I try to scan, the scanner makes noise and appears to begin to scan then hangs. I have tried the version of Sane that came with Red-hat, but that causes a seg. fault when I try to run it, so I reverted back to the version of sane that came with Mandrake. The SCSI card is SCSI3 I have confirmed that the scanner is properly terminated and it uses ID 5. My system, in addition to the two above mentioned items consist of: AMD K-2 400 processor 128Mbs memory 2 hardrives (hda1, hdb2) 1 dvd rom 1 ide cdrw (hewlett Packard 1 parallel port zip drive cannon printer Yamaha sound card using the OSS driver ATI rage fury 32mb. I hope that I have included all necessary information. Thank you for your past answers that have helped me transition to Linux relatively pain free. Thanks again -- Pat and Connie
