I fear that I may be loosing my mind. I was running A/UX 2.0 a while
back, then stopped for a couple months, and now am back to running A/UX
full time. I could swear that the scanner used to work under A/UX 2.0 - but
now when I fire up either Applescan or Omnipage my session crashes. Does
A/UX 2.0 support the Apple scanner? I've got awfully spoiled using Omnipage
to scan in interesting articles and product flyers - I will really miss it
if I can't get the scanner to work....
Thanks.

The SCSI Manager is not supported with A/UX 2.0. Most of the scanning software/drivers use the SCSI Manager. I assume you scanned from MacOS?

Unless the MacOS SCSI Manager is reworked (which seems about to happen sometime this year, or so it seems), there is absolutely no way to make it work under A/UX in its full generality. However, I do have some code which implements a reasonable subset (i.e. the features 99% of the drivers out there use); but it has one major problem: It works except "production" environment. That is, I can use it without problems for issuing commands by SEdit or SCSI Probe, but "real" drivers don't work yet. I don't yet know why not; the system simply hangs without any obvious cause. Debugging gets difficult under these circumstances. I can mail the sources to anyone who is interested in trying to find that bug. (My own time is extremely limited right now -- trying to write that MacOS-interface News reading program everyone's waiting for.) You may need MPW C for the MacOS parts. -- Matthias Urlichs -- urlichs@smurf.sub.org -- urlichs@smurf.ira.uka.de /(o\ Humboldtstrasse 7 - 7500 Karlsruhe 1 - FRG -- +49+721+621127(0700-2330) \o)/
