Re: NCR53C9x (MCA) SCSI problem with scanner
Does your kernel have scsi CD-ROM and generic support? I also have an
internal scsi CD-ROM and a scsi scanner: my CD-ROM is detected as sr0
and the scanner comes in as sg2 - do you see anything like these being
detected later on in dmesg?
Also, ensure that you have scsi termination set on the scanner - this
_is_ the only device on the external chain isn't it?
