Thanks Peter

Software mission accomplished - Please see the attached file.

For scsi cards I will have to check on that. 
All I can say is that it did work with this scanner in this computer at one 
time. 

The other computer  is a dual boot with almost identical problems. On that 
computer the scanner does work under windows but does not work under linux 
showing almost the same set of problems. No data from the dual boot has been 
posted as I did not want to confuse the issue.

Both computers are loaded with pure RH 7.3 straight out of the box.

Thanks
Frank
