Hi folks, I have been trying hours failing to make following scanner to work again. Previously It worked on RedHat 8 on this box
Alfa SnapScan 310 connected to a ISA SCSI card FedoraCore2 ================= This box has another removable hard drive running WinME. This scanner is still working on WinME Test performed as follows; ========================= # sane-find-scanner # No SCSI scanners found.
