Hi folks Lot of thanks for your advice. Thanks to Holger for the link which is the same as on my 1st posting.
My problem is now half solved. The trick is I have to disable the Plug and Play driver on the ISA SCSI card by following the steps described on the aforesaid link su password # /sbin/insmod sg Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sg.o # /sbin/insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0 Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.o # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX160E Rev: 1.0e Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: AGFA Model: SNAPSCAN 310 Rev: 1.90 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Starting 'Xsane' still could not detect the scanner (licence accepted). I don't know its setup. Can any folk on the list shed me some light Another strange thing is when I restart the PC I have to do 'insmod' again otherwise the scanner could not be detected. # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX160E Rev: 1.0e Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 The scanner disappeared. Any solution? Thanks in advance.
