That is a SCSI scanner, correct? Are you using it under OS X? I have a 1220s, and can't get my Rev A G3 (DT 266) to see it properly under X (it works fine under OS 9.) I have tried it with both the built-in SCSI port, and the Adaptec 2930 card I'm using. When I have checked the System Profile, the scanner shows up 8 times, as SCSI ID 4 LUN 0, SCSI 4 LUN 1, SCSI 4 LUN 2, etc, right up to SCSI 4 LUN 7. I have tried different combinations of SCSI IDs and termination (I used an external SCSI term block). The built-in SCSI and the Adaptec card are both fine with my LaCie CD-RW under OS X. I have always been somewhat suspicious of the internal SCSI Zip drive in my machine. It didn't play nice with an external SCSI HD under either OS 8 or 9 - if the HD was attached I could read Zips, but not write to or erase them: instant lock-up. Removing the HD made the Zip work OK. Might the Zip be causing problems here? Although it would be on a different SCSI chain from the scanner when that is connected to the Adaptec card, and it doesn't seem to affect the LaCie CD-RW attached to either SCSI port.
