Hi, I already put this question when sane was at version 1.0.3 Yesterday I upgraded to sane-1.0.6 and tried again. I have a Tamarack 6000C scanner (branded ESCOM, but sane-find-scanner sees it as Tamarack) with a g_NCR5380 ISA SCSI card. As with previous versions of sane, the scanner works, but it works so horribly slow that scanning a full A4 page at 300dpi greyscale takes over an hour!!! The stepper motor moving the sensor cart moves about one step per second instead of a continuos rapid succession of steps.
Please advise me what can I do to improve scanning speed. Otherwise, system is much more stable then when scanning in windows (where it takes about 3-5 minutes for a 3 pass 300dpi A4 full color page). All functions work besides the speed. System is a Slackware 7.0 with 2.2.19 kernel. I checked and the SCSI buffer is set at 128k. (found it in the docs). ===== ing. Andrei Boros Centrul pt.
