That means the option is not available, so the software
cant see your scanner.

Youll have to excuse me if I ask repeditive questions,
you have put this in your config ?

DEVICE=C:\OS2\TWAIN\CFM512\CFMASPI.SYS

It's your luck the bloated driver can be replaced by a Warp stock one:

Really? The =B1 40 kB Warp stockdrivers are the *only* ones who don't suc=
k at all. Not even
taken into account the appalling time the bloated drivers do need to have=
 a chkdsk.

Anyway, I've never encountered a problem with this one:

9-02-98 11:39         40.846      0 a---  AIC7870.ADD

I dare to say, if there are problems with this one, the SCSI setup should=
 be scrutinized
first.

Yes, this is the one I use as well, the drivers between the one
supplied with Warp4, and one before this current one were bad ! 
ie, I would recommend the original driver over any but the
last two versions.
The original adaptec driver supplied with Warp 4 killed my
tape drive.

The current one, I have 4 SCSI HD's, CDR, & Scanner all
hanging off, perfect.

Ditto, though it may just be a case of Ed's scanner isnt supported
with CFM, so Ed may have to wait for an updated sane, and/or try
other programs.

Hi Kris

Got the last post around the wrong way, its the "bloated"
driver I use, with no problems at all, the smaller ones
are the ones that killed my tape drive.

Also the bloated ones are suppost to have better cache
enabled, the first bloated one though did keep crashing
my system. 

 12/07/99  15:15     134280           0  AIC7870.ADD

This is the one I use. Eds got the one after but as I'm happy
with the one I currently have, I'm not budging :-)

Yes - that driver was added into config.sys by the install program.

By the way, the last time you asked, I was trying to use SANE/2
(ie no CFM component) which is why I didn't refer to your earlier
comment.

I believe the software can see the scanner as - when I start the
scanning application, it won't work unless I have added an entry
into the scanner.ini file and that entry refers back to the ID sent
from the SCSI bus. Hence to do this validation, it has to be able
to see the scanner.

What is more likely is that the codes used with the Canon 620
are different to those used for the 600 (also why there is a patch
for SANE specifically for the 620 I guess).

In the meantime, I have checked out all of the supplied cfg files
and none of them work with this scanner.

Do you know if there's an e-mail list for CFM Twain support ?
Perhaps someone has already created a Canon 620 S cfg file ?

It's a Canon 620 S flatbed scanner.  New - from a normal chain of
shops (Strathfield's), not from auction.

Yes IMPos/2 - that's worth a try .....  I'll go see if they have this
model listed. The comapny I used to work for Munich used the
Impos guys to write custom OS/2 software for them. I know
they're a very technically solid company.

The company's not called Impos though is it ?  I can't remember the
name - I'll search.

OK got it - thanks.

By the way - Compart (IMPOS/2) don't list this scanner as supported.

Shows that this Scanner is now supported by SANE !!  (But not Sane/2
until it
is re-ported).

Thats good, its been so long sonce I installed CFM I cant remember
what it does during install.

I know, I just put that there as a reference that whatever package
your using may require its own driver.

This seems to be the most likely answer unfortunetly.

>Do you know if there's an e-mail list for CFM Twain support ?

You could send an e-mail, containing the SCSI-name and ROM-version
of the scannner to: supportatcfm.de

I couldnt find a list anywere.

Apart from an early hiccup with their Internet banking which put them 12-18mths behind the pack. They seem to have caught up very well.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that they 
a) ditched their OS/2 based solution for an attempted NT solution, 
b) lost big bucks, 
c) sacked the guy who recommended NT and 
d) returned to the OS/2 solution 
would it?

But please everybody - don't call me cynical - hard-bitten, maybe and no I didn't come down with the last shower of rain. However, 
cynical? Never!!  :))

Subject: [os2genau] Melbourne SIG Meeting tomorrow evening

Hello, folks!

This is my latest advice so far :( and I am not keen to aim for a worse record. 

Welcome one and all to the OS/2 SIG meeting for May, where the power of Notes will be demonstrated once again, taking up from where 
we left off last time.

We *should* also have some news for long-suffering and patient people who have ordered the eCS upgrade to their Warp 4. (Consolation 
prize: we have all learned how to be patient, haven't we?<g>). We have anticipated the release of eCS with a couple of items in the 
evening's schedule.

In April we saw the early stages of a Lotus Notes connection to a server and having resolved the hiccup which spoiled some of the demo, 
we will look at more than a Mail client this month. Notes power is available to handle almost any document or data control process, with 
Notes Templates available from Lotus and from Notes developers for commonly identified tasks. After that, Notes developers can build 
applications from scratch, and Antony Shepherd will report from some of the applications in which he has been involved during his time as a 
Notes evangelist and developer.

So in summary:

6:30pm Open Forum: News, Views and Interesting Happenings
7:00pm Discussion - Planning for support of the new eCS platform
7:15pm Planning for an ecS Install-fest!! 
Approx 7:45pm Guest Presentation by Antony Shepherd: Lotus Notes on OS/2 - twice the value!

9:30 Adjournment to eatery
