[sane-devel] getting any sort of Umax PowerLook 2100XL to work anymore?

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 22:56:27 -0800

Oops; accidentally tried sending this from my non-subscribed email first. I hope that one is not approved. Earlier I'd been asking if the new USB Umax PowerLook 2100XL is supported.  It wasn't clear, and may or may not involve someone or any new user trying to write drivers.  Now I found out even the old (SCSI-2) one doesn't work with kernels since March 19, 2018... at least not for my Adaptec PCI SCSI-2 card (AHA-2920 or something.) The Linux kernel just started removing drivers for plain/classic PCI hardware (and other still-used old hardware, for years) despite brand new system-/logic-/main-/mother-boards still being made with plain/classic PCI slots.  Is there any way I can recompile the old drivers (fdomain) for new kernels? ... or should I just pay Umax to upgrade a scanner to USB, or maybe buy a USB one, with the chance of it not ever working? (maybe same situation unless I install an old/obsolete OS version.)
