Puhh - thank god! >Only problem is the model > auto-detection. It is way too slow.

If you still provide only the device name, then the startup behaviour should be the same as before (1.0.9) the only thing I changed here is the autodetection of the device name, to support the libusb stuff. It's not clear to me, why it takes so long for autodetection... Even when I use the libusb, it's not that slow here: cfg example: [usb] device auto Okay I have no SCSI subsystem! But as told before when using [usb] device /dev/usbscanner then you should have the same behaviour as before. Gerhard
