[NTLUG:Discuss] Umax scanner

[clyde swann]

If your scanner's scsi connection is 50 pin high density, take a look at the 
adaptec 2930 ultra scsi card, a $100 bucks at Frys.  If you want to go usb 
identify the scanning software that will support that protocol before you 
spend to much time on the hardware side.  You might also consider upgrading 
to Redhat 7.0 which is supposed to have improved usb support.  I got tired 
of trying to make usb work with my asus p2b-f motherboard and HP 6300 
scanner.  I had no problem with the above mentioned scsi card on RH v6.2, 
just plug-n-play.  I just upgraded to RH 7.0 and am in the process of 
reloading the scanning software, Xvscan.  This software supports scsi only 
and uses the generic scsi driver in linux.  Works great!
