Hello, I searched the archives to see if people had successfully used
the UMAX Astra 1220S scanner with FreeBSD 3.1. The only thing I found was
that somebody had it working with 4.0-current. I saw this post:

> Is anyone using sane with version 3.0.
> I have a umax 1220s scanner which is not recognized but works fine with linux.

but there were no followups to it.

I also found this post:

> CAM is broken, you need to use /dev/pass6.

With no followups to it. What is /dev/pass6? Does somebody know what exactly
this poster meant when he said "CAM is broken" and has the broken-ness been
fixed?

So ... is somebody out there currenty using an Astra 1220S scanner with
FreeBSD 3.1? Were there any hoops to jump through to get it working (kernel
configs, patches to CAM, etc.)?

Thanks,

-Jr
