Hello,
I'm writing a user level driver for the Nikon coolscan Diascanner, and 
when the coolscan scans, the SCSI BUS is very slow, because
there is no disconnect. Does the Generic SCSI - Interface
support disconnect ? Or is this a problem of the low- level driver?
I have a AHA1542. The coolscan is SCSI-I. How can I determine if
the coolscan supports disconnect. The second device on the BUS
is a very old HP-SCSI I harddisc, and may not be disconnected, because
this will cause data corruption. 

Jochen
