ok, I've been hunting high and low all over the sane-devel list and any other place I can think of. I have a scanner scsi card (chipset: symbios 53c400a). there appears to be no sym53c4xx.c or .h files in redhat. Since this is the card that came with my compact 4800 scsi scanner, I would very much like to get it working under linux. The card is an isa slot (8 bit) jumperless scsi card made by the DOMEX Corporation of Taiwan (and was included with the scanner). the card itself is recognized under windows 95/98 after installation of a twain low level driver. after that, it woukld be recognized as a scsi adaptor (symbios logic model 53c400A). anyone that can help, please do so.. thanks.
