primax: Thread: DIP switches on the back of my Profi 9600?

Hi there; I recently picked up a very cheap Primax Profi 9600 (wow!  a
SCSI scanner for 10ukp!) and am having a hard time getting it recognised
even by the SCSI card at boot-up.  Central to this mystery is the function
of the four dip switches on the back of the scanner; presumably one
controls termination, and the other three the ID...?  Not sure which
is which, but whatever they're set to, even if the scanner is the only
device attached to my SCSI card (an Advansys Ultra PCI of some
description), it doesn't recognise it.  Can anyone help me decide whether
it's broken, or just mis-configured?

thanks,

As far as I remember there is 16 SCSI ID's (I might be wrong..), that means
that all four switches controls scsi ID, and the scanner might not even have a
internal termination function.
Maybe you should try a external terminator?
Is the scsi card correct terminated?
Probably there is some kind o' documentation for this device on the primax
website, why don't you check it?

Good luck.
