i'm setting up FBSD 2.2.8 for a friend that has a 2940UW. he wants a scanner (either a UMAX 1220S or the new HP with the document feeder). i've been reading the maillists, and it seems many people are having trouble with scanners, CAM, and SANE (whatever that is ;). attached to the 2940UW will be the scanner (25 pin?), an IBM 4.5G (68 pin), HP CD/RW (50 pin), and a Mitsumi CD 32x (50 pin). possibly a Zip Drive (25 pin?) also. 1. are all SCSI scanners compatible? even if they have a document feeder? 2. i remember reading problems about putting 50/25 pin adapters on 68 pin connectors - is this still a problem? the external 2940UW connector will have to drop to 25 pins for the scanner, and probably the zip drive. it is also a concern, since the 68 pin internal connector must be used for the IBM HD, but i need to attach the CD/RW and the CD internally. as you know, you can only use 2 of the 3 connectors on the 2940UW. 3. what additional software do i need to pick up to do this stuff besides the 2.2.8 dist and the kernel sources? i don't see anything about htis stuff in the documentation and i'm new to SCSI stuff. any help would be greatly appreciated - please reply off the list as well, ok? ;) thanks.
