I just set up the 2.4GHz machine and the 66 MHz machine side by side, scanned the same picture with the same scanner with both machines, and copied the file from each to the other. The result is that the scan done on the 2.4 GHz machine has severe moire effect, while the scan done on the slow machine looks good, when viewed on either machine. The raw bits files from scanimage are of identical size on the scan from either machine. (But the files differ, starting at byte 38, line 5)
Both machines are running Red Hat 8.0, sane version 1.08. Does anybody have a clue why the speed of the CPU seems to make a difference? Or what else it might be? -- jhaynes at alumni dot uark dot edu
