Just FYI: Last time, when I began my first - totally blurred - scanner experiments, I had a transfer rate of 5 KB/s using the DMX 3181/LE SCSI controller under Linux RH 6.1 (the controller that comes with the scanner). The linux kernel told me already that it wasn't using interrupts anyway, but I read between the lines and on the net that hacking the driver to allow for interrupts or apply some patches wouldn't make things terribly better.
Anyway, now, after installing the Symbios NCR/ASUS-SC200 SCSI controller I'm getting: [mustek] do_stop [mustek] Scanning time was 18 seconds, 75 kB/s [mustek] do_stop: terminating reader process I don't know what the optimum can be with that scanner but it's quite satisfying, I must say. Thanks for making sane available. Great software! Now I will try to get saned working to allow scanning from any computer in the lab. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies [email protected]
