Re: Re: Scanners - SCSI card for ARTEC AT12
If it's the same card that I got with the Artect AT6, it's a real brain
damaged one (read only, can't write). I hooked up a Zip plus drive and
could read just fine, but could not write to the Zip Plus drive. When I
swapped SCSI cards with a more normal one, everything just worked fine.
My suggestion is to go and buy a SCSI-1 or 2 card that is supported and you
should be just fine. IMHO.

If it is neither on the supported nor unsupported list, chances are it is
unsupported. Unless it is hardware compatible with something supported.
Your manual says nothing about compatibility?
You could of course try compiling a kernel supporting every scsi
controller linux can use and see if yours is detetected by any of the
drivers.

I ought to be useful. There may be support for some newer cards, but you
want something cheap if the scanner is your only use.
Think carefully though, scsi is a good interface for disks. Buying a good
scsi adapter now let you go for scsi the next time you need more disk
space, whenever that may be.
