I repaired before but not after. I've repaired them after now (twice,
second time clear) but there's no apparent change.

Vuescan is pretty self contained, just the app & an '.ini' file. I've
tried various versions of Vuescan on two different 10.3.2 startup drives,
all fail in a similar way. But starting from a 10.2.8 drive works with
all Vuescan versions & this scanner. A demo version of Silverfast also
fails (although in a slightly different way) so I think the scanning
software is innocent. I've asked Ed H for comments but not yet had a reply.

As ever, I seem to be the only one in the world... 

I think this must be either the scanner (Microtek only say that there is
no 10.3.2 software for their scanner) or the Adaptec card. Adaptec are
being helpful but without success as yet.

If I restart everything then the backup tape on the same scsi chain works
until I try to use the scanner, then the scanner software hangs & the
backup tape no longer responds until another restart. It seems like the
scsi clockwork is broken by trying to start the scanner. I really can't
see where to go from here... Anyone want a nice shiny Artixscan 1100?
