[sane-devel] Mac OS X - xsane and Microtek Scanmaker II

Hi,

	new to sane so bear with me.

	I installed version 1.0.12 via Fink. I'm using xsane 0.89 as my front 
end, but have also tried just using scanimage from the command line 
with the same symptoms. I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.6, with a Scanmaker 
II attached to and Adaptec 2906  SCSI card. The scanner works ok if 
slowly  with VueScanX, so I guess that basically the SCSI bus and the 
Scanner are working ok.

	The symptoms are similar to those discussed between June 10th and June 
19th 2003 under the thread heading FreeBSD and Microtek Scanmaker II, 
in that if I try to scan in color it fails after the first pass, 
although if I scan in grayscale it works ok (single pass).

	Looking in /var/log/system.log I can see the following

	Is it possible that this is the same problem?

	Is it possible that since I installed via fink, I don't necessarily 
have the patch that is referred to in the discussion mentioned above ?
	If so how would i go about installing the patch ?

	Is there some command I can use to provide more trace to help diagnose 
the problem ?


Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers

David
