Hi,

i just bought an agfascan 1236s scanner and it comes with an AHA-1505AE/AI
scsi card. I read that this card can be used with the 152x driver.
Could anyone help me out here? insmod 152x.c returns "card is busy".
scsi support is enabled in kernel, etc...
i really need help there. thx

1. I Need Help Finding a SCSI Cable + SCSI Adapter

I'm trying to obtain the proper cable for a SCSI Zip drive.
These drives have SCSI connectors which are suitable for connecting
to Mac's--DB25M/DB25M. However, I want to connect this drive to
a PC SCSI Adapter--specifically, the Tyan Yorktown I (NCR53c825)
controller. Its specifications sheet describes the following
connectors:

Internal 50-pin Vertical Low Density Connector
Internal 68-pin Right Angle High Dnsity Connector
External 50-pin High Density Shielded Connector with Screw Jacks

I will use the external. Which cable will be suitable for this
SCSI connector, and where can I find it? I purchased a DB25M/DB50M,
but I don't think that will be the correct cable. The Yorktown I
is supposed to have the same external connector as the Adaptec
2940. Do I have the right cable, or the wrong cable? If Adaptec's
external connector is like the Sun Microsystems SCSI connectors
on their Ultra's, then I know that I have the wrong cable.

By the way, the Tyan Yorktown spec sheet also describes the following:

NCR 53C825 PCI-SCSI Processor
FAST SCSI-3
WIDE SCSI-3
High Performance SCSI-RISC Core
FCC Class B
Onboard SCSI BIOS

I have not seen any drives which have the classification, Fast/Wide
SCSI 3. What is the difference between Ultra-Wide/Wide/Fast/etc...

Please respond by email, as well as posting to the newsgroup for
others to see.
