[sane-devel] Agfa DuoScan SCSI scanner with Mac OS X 10.4

[Werner Randelshofer]

I have removed now all Adaptec Kernel extensions from /System/Library/Extensions except Adaptec 78XXSCSI.kext as described in the following article.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10334774-263.html


sane-find-scanner lists now only a single scanner device. 

found SCSI scanner "AGFA DUOSCAN 2.30" at <0240a6000000002d134c34f4a>

I think this is an improvement. Yet, the scanner device has just this strange number, and
scanimage -L still states that no scanners were identified.

Any idea how to fix this?
