I've got a umax 1200S on an adaptec 2940un with a disk on the internal cable, and it all works fine. scanner is obviously for the mac market with the DB25 connector, but it came with a cable with DB25 for the scanner on one end, and typical ultra scsi2 connector on the other. works fine. it also works with an adaptor that came with my jaz 1gb drive (what a piece of junk that tutrned out to be). kernel version 2.2.17 Feb 4 08:41:41 bleys kernel: scsi1 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.31/3.2.4 a Andrew Yeats wrote: > > Well then, It looks like the problem has been found!
