Re: filmscanners: Any experience with Vuescan/Linux/SS4000/Adaptec 29160?

Jeff,

I am completely clueless, but thought of a couple suggestions.  First, I
think using the separate SCSI card is an excellent idea. Second, before you
do that, try setting the termination on the scanner to off, rather than on.
I thought you only terminated one connection (internal or external) and you
internal one is terminated.

Not sure that will help.
