plustek: Thread: Can't get my 9636P to run

Hello!

I've tried my best to get my 9636P working, but it won't.

I've installed Sane 1.0.5 and downloaded the Plustek 0.39 drivers. 
Installation worked so far but when I type "make load" I get a "Device or 
ressource busy". I've set up everything as I found in TEXT.txt. The scanner 
seems to be properly connected as the lamp is on. I've also used it under 
Windows with no problems. In debugging mode the installation process ends 
with error -9020. See attached dmesg output.
Any solutions please?

My  plustek 9636T works with kernel 2.4.5 but refuses to work with
2.4.6 (tried 0.39 with sane 1.0.5 and 0.37 with sane 1.0.4).
the error message is:
pt_drv : no device(s) detected, (-9020)

Hi Arthur,

I've currently not tested that kernel! 
They may changed and "improved" again the parport code. You might disable
the IEEE1248 stuff. I will check this within the next days....

Hi,

well the problem is, that the memory test fails! The scanner is recognized
(or better the ASIC) but the mem test fails and so the driver refuses to load.
So what to do? I can see, that you're using the switch slowIO=1, please
try and use slowIO=0. You might also try and set your BIOS to SPP-mode
to check if this works even better.
The other thing is, that this scanner hasn't been tested so far! I have a report
about an OP9636P but this has an ASIC 98001 not the 96003 - so it seems
that Plustek again has sold two different scanner with the same name...

Please report any results to the list, thanks
Gerhard
