You will have to bear with my ignorance but how do I find out the scsi id and if it is shown at the boot-scsi card post. I've a sneaking suspicion that I should have disconnected my second HD before installing ECS instead of just making my ECS drive the boot drive in BIOS. Both hard drives are SATA drives. The second drive has Win 7 and Mint 9 on it. Mint 9 can access my scanner. I installed Mint 9 after making the second drive the boot drive in BIOS and then disconnecting the ECS drive so Mint couldn't write Grub2 to the ECS drive. -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 23:24:58 +0100 From: Kris Steenhaut Subject: Re: Scanner and CopyShop problems Alan Duval ha scritto: > Kris Steenhaut wrote: >> Alan Duval ha scritto: >>> Looking for ASPI manager .....Found >> So, os2aspi.dmd is in the config.sys too, right? >>> Number of SCSI host adapters found :1 >>> Host 0: ATA_ATAPI SCSI ID ==> 7 Searching .....

Well, you didn't say so but I was assuming you're trying to run a scsi scanner. And a scsi scanner mandatory has to be attached to a scsi card. On a scsi scanner there is a switch to assign it's scsi id to. 1 at 7, but 7 normally can't be used as it's the id of the scsi card itself (leaving one of the 1 at 6 free for use). Bottom line, you have to set the scsi id manually on the scanner itself using sone (dip)switches. At boot time, even before the operating system begins, the scsi card shows itself with the attached devices and the id numbers attached to these devices. And if you don't see this at boot, then your scanner isn't even attached to the computer - electronically speaking of course. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:44:26 +1000 (EST) From: "Peter L Allen" Subject: Boot Linux with Boot Manager At the extreme risk of teaching old hands etc, eggs etc.. The advanced or custom whatever intallation mode must be used. When at the final step and pointer is hovering over the install button, back off and think where have you specified that Grub is to be installed in root. If not POSITVE about this go back and look for the option. It may be a button on a previous screen that opens a dialogue and may named anything but "where do you wish to install Grub". -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2011 22:19:14 +1100 From: Alan Duval Subject: Re: Scanner and CopyShop problems Kris Steenhaut wrote: > Alan Duval ha scritto: >> Kris Steenhaut wrote: >>> Alan Duval ha scritto: >>>> Looking for ASPI manager .....Found >>> So, os2aspi.dmd is in the config.sys too, right? >>>> Number of SCSI host adapters found :1 >>>> Host 0: ATA_ATAPI SCSI ID ==> 7 Searching .....

Thanks Kris. In the meantime I've been able to get my scanner recognized. I reinstalled ECS again but without ACPI and installed ASPIROUT, TAME2 and COPYSHOP and the scanner was found when ECS was rebooted and I could use TAME2. Then I installed ACPI and that prevented the scanner being recognized . I then changed PSD=ACPI.PSD /APIC /SMP to PSD=ACPI.PSD SMP /CD and now have the scanner recognized and ACPI working. However CopyShop is not working fully as when I click on It's start icon a message comes up "No ulsize from PrfQueryProfileString". Once I closed this error message CopyShop was loaded but would only scan to file and the copy function and fax function wouldn't work at all. On rebooting I now find that the error message doesn't come up and both copy and fax functions cause the scanner to work but the printer and Fax programs can't be accessed. One other problem. I had copied Firefox Bookmarks from my previous PC and then copied the file to the respective folder in ECS 2.0 but no bookmarks are seen in Firefox. Usually this worked with previous versions of Firefox but the import function of Firefox 3.5.3 only looks for bookmarks in other browsers and not in other places. Do you know a way around this?
