Suite aux problemes que je rencontre pour installer un scanner Microtek
sur une machine Linux j'ai ecrit a l'auteur de microtek.conf
Fort gentiment, il m'a repondu ... le probleme c'est que je vois mal
comment exploiter ce qu'il me dit.
Quelqu'un peut il me dire ou et comment on peut modifier les "settings"
du scsi .....

These symptoms normally indicate a problem with the SCSI setup. Please
check your settings for disconnect/reconnect and enable sync negotiation.

For example, with my AVA1505 adapter I am using 'modprobe aha150x,7,10,1,1'
These settings must match those of the SCSI adapter.
