[sane-devel] Parallel Port as SCSI [SOLVED]

[Get A. Long]

Wow! It work like a charm, and Kooka is a wonderfully intuitive application!

The four steps suggested by Allan made it! I had in fact unplugged the 
terminator and wouldn't have thought of it otherwise.

Anyhow, my family thinks I'm a great guru now! ;)

Thanks all for the kind help!!!

Thanks!
