I tried that this morning...figuring maybe the terminator switch on the
scanner was mislabeled. I tried it with termination off, and it worked no
better.
I know (or at least have read many times) that scanners are typically
ill-behaved SCSI devices, and don't plan on putting anything else on the
card...at least not until I have it working perfectly.
According to Gerard, my problem seems to be rooted in the fact that the
SCSI card just isn't happy with my system, and is experiencing major PCI
problems. I'll try some of his suggestions tonight...but am planning on
trying a Buslogic as well.
