We are having problems with the Sharp JX-300 scanner under A/UX 2.0, the provided drivers work but don't do anything. They work fine under MacOS. This is with a MacIIfx and a RaterOps 2 page. If you can help please mail to me directly. Thanks, Anthony. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Anthony Dunstan University of Adelaide Apple Consortium | | A Macintosh CyberMan anthony@cs.adelaide.edu.au | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll need the MacOS SCSI Manager under A/UX.
I am in the process of implementing one; however, there's a problem with the
A/UX SCSI subsystem. If the nice guys at Apple Europe had not copied the
(double-sided) disks of the 2.0 device driver development kit single-sided
(very ingenious! -- I don't know how anyone could manage to do that), it
would probably already be available via FTP from somewhere.

If that's your definition of "working" then I've a number of software packages I could sell you... :-) There is no SCSI Manager support in A/UX 2.0, so nothing that tries to drive its own SCSI devices using a Mac driver is going to work at all: this gets rid of all scanners, the SCSI-connected laserwriters, everything. Check the "A/UX Toolbox: Macintosh ROM Interface" section of the printed manual, particularly the subsection called "Inside A/UX Macintosh". If anyone from Apple is listening: please can you put the summary part of the above-named section as an *online* manual page? -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)

I'm currently working on one. The problem is that the A/UX SCSI handling is sufficiently different (read: the MacOS SCSI manager does not correspond to real-world SCSI very well) as to give everyone a big headache. No, I don't know when it'll be ready. If somebody wants to help with testing, send me some mail. (Having the 2.0 device driver development kit is a must as there are some differences which require changes in the SCSI error handling.) -- Matthias Urlichs -- urlichs@smurf.sub.org -- urlichs@smurf.ira.uka.de /(o\ Humboldtstrasse 7 - 7500 Karlsruhe 1 - FRG -- +49+721+621127(0700-2330) \o)/
