Hello again :-( About SCSI, I checked with dmesg | more
which answered this among others : scsi1: <fdomain> No BIOS; using scsi id 7 scsi1: <fdomain> TMC-36C70 (PCI bus) chip at 0xe400 irq 11 scsi1 : Future Domain 16-bit SCSI Driver Version 5.50 Vendor: EPSON Model: SCANNER GT-5000 Rev: 1.07 Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 01 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0, type 3 scsi : 1 host left. So there is a scanner recognised, and the fdomain driver (the one needed fo= r=20 the AHA-2920) seems to be there at least at boot time, I suppose. What's next ? Thank you again for your help, I'm beginning to feel more at ease in linux.
