I just tried the aic7xxx_old driver with my AIC-7850 card (using kernel 2.4.5ac5 sources), and now my snapscan works wonderfully - in fact, even better than it did with the aha152x driver for my other SCSI card. My system is now capable of scanning and playing mp3s at the same time without any music breakup, which was always a problem with the aha152x driver. Unfortunately, the aic7xxx_old driver is no longer supported, so I hope the aic7xxx driver is fixed soon. I'll email the author. BTW, I presume your Prisa620ST is with the transparency adpater? How do you find it? I was offered a transparency adapter for AU$25. Ben. Steffen Kluge wrote: > Hi, > FWIW, the aic7xxx driver that comes with kernel 2.4.5 works fine > with my 2940 and Prisa620ST.
