[sane-devel] Microtek Scanner Failure

[Charles A. Crayne]

After moving my venerable Adaptek AHA152x ISA SCSI host adapter and attached Microtek ScanMaker E3 scanner from a machine running sane-1.0.2 under Red Hat 7.1, to a "new and improved" machine running sane-1.0.8 under Red Hat 8.0, the Microtek back end no longer recognizes the scanner, presumably because scanner inquiry block has been munged.

I realize that this is probably not caused by sane itself, but perhaps someone has seen this sort of problem before.
