I use the patch from Kurt Garloff, version 1.41 with old error handling, built as a module for a vanilla 2.4.20. Although this time I didn't get any oopses or panic(), I still get error messages about SRB abort. With previous versions of SANE I used to get this message at the second scan, then scanimage got stuck and I could just reboot the machine. (see below) Now I can perform several scans in a row without problems, however after a few minutes of inactivity, the same problem occurs. It seems to be the scanner that goes to sleep or something like this. Firmware is version 3.11 on the scanner, I could update it provided there is a windows NT 4 driver, because that's the only windows box I can get to... But the latest driver version for this scanner is ScanWizard 2.54 and I remember I installed this version years ago. Error messages : DC395x: Target 06: No sync transfers DC395x_DoingSRB_Done: blablabla... Seems like the driver cannot achieve a bus reset, but I'm absolutely no SCSI expert :/ The scanner is id 6 on the bus, and is the only device attached to the adapter.
