Hi all, I included the patch and hope it will solve the problem with crashing the X-server. I experienced this too one or two times when canceling a scanimage via ctrl-c but didn't follow it. I also have some experimental code for the X12USL in there, don't expect too much but if possible, please test the new version (microtek2_20011120.tar.gz on my homepage http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag) and send me a logfile of the session as described in the manpage.
As for the SCSI-trace: I managed to get the original windows driver running under linux with the emulator program 'wine'. It is possible to log the commands with the normal version of wine; I patched it to see also the data, not only the commands.
