my Mustek 1200SP was shipped with the DTC436 SCSI-interfacecard . After
applying
the patch "mustek-scsi-patch-0.5" the adaptor was recognized (thanks to
the author!)
It turned out that the DTC436 is compatible to the dtc_3181e, at least
the initialization
was successful with the option dtc_3181e=1
The modprobe-output was as follows:
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x280 dtc_3181e=1
kernel: scsi2 : at port 0x280 irq 5 options CAN_QUEUE=16 CMD_PER_LUN=2
release=1 generic options AUTOPROBE_IRQ AUTOSENSE PSEUDO
DMA USLEEP, USLEEP_POLL=1 USLEEP_SLEEP=20 generic release=7
kernel: scsi2 : Generic NCR5380/53C400 Driver
kernel: scsi : 2 hosts.
kernel: Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: 1.05
kernel: Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision:
01 CCS
kernel: Detected scsi generic sgc at scsi2, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
(hmm. The Gerenic NCR5380/53C400 Driver has to be used for the dtc3181e-
compatible dtc436-Card - a little bit confusing...)
However, my system includes two Hard-Diskdrives connected to an aha2940.
After calling modprobe without options or other options than mentioned
above,
modprobing dies after a while. Unfortunately the hole scsi-Bus hangs and
there is no way to access the harddiskdrives any more. That means one
has to
press the reset button.
So get my warning: If you have a similar configuration, be very careful
while
testing this Driver!
But once the scanner was found scanning works fine and the system is
still
usable while scanning is in progress.
Bye
