[sane-devel] UMAX and netbsd/macppc woes persist

[paul beard]

well, I seem to be stuck. So far, I've been able to verify that 
the scanner hardware and cabling work in MacOS but not in NetBSD 
with SANE. I haven't heard anything resembling a success story 
with SANE and Apple/PowerPC hardware, so if there are any, I'd be 
interested to see them.

Since the kernel and scsictl can both see the scanner but SANE 
can't, what's missing? Is the kernel somehow not cooperating with 
SANE? and if not, how does scsictl get around that problem? I have 
already posted ktruss output of scsictl and SANE probing the 
device, but if anyone would like to see it again or can suggest 
other methods, please let me know.

I can capture ktruss output as needed or provide any other 
debugging assistance/testing. I'd like not to have to buy a SCSI 
card for one of my Intel boxes just to resolve this issue: sounds 
like a Windows solution to me.

I don't even know what this error means:

         "scanimage: open of device umax:/dev/uk0 failed: Invalid 
argument\n"
