i hear that UMAX scanners are broken, they tie up the scsi bus while scanning. so i figure i'll get an HP. FBSD 2.2.8 Adaptec 2940UW anyway, i'm kind of new to scsi, and would like to know if i can avoid CAM and SANE all all the rest of it, and just compile a pt0 + scsi kernel, and do something like: image.tmp < /dev/pt0 | scanned-img-2-gif-converter > image.gif and cat image.gif | ocr-app > image.txt i am very short on time due to other projects, and don't have days or weeks to spend on dealing with a bunch of new software and utilities. ps. anyone know if document feeders affect things at the driver level? pps. i will have a IBM 4.5G, possibly a Zip100, and a 50 pin CD/RW and a CD. can i use 68 -> 50 and 68 -> 25 pin adapters? thanks ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
