I want to than k all the wonderful people on the von list and the
members of the comp.periphs and comp.periphs.scsi news groups who made

various suggestions for resolve the problem set out below.  
Ultimately, it was Mustek which resolved the problem.   If one is 
going to run a 28.8 modem(Sportster Vi or similar modem) with a Mustek

scanner(MPS6000CX), one must use a  Mustek scsi card which is 
revision  7(AZ SCSI  I/O rev. F).  Once the card arrived, it rsn out 
of the box!!  All I/O problems were cured.  Apparently, revision A 
had some wait statements removed which were to improve operation, but 
which had the opposite effect.  Those who contacted me about this 
with similar problems, might want to contact  Mustek at 18004MUSTEK.  
They replaced the scsi card for free!

I beg the indulgence of the von readership with a question which, 
though dealing with multimedia, is strictly not von related.  If 
some one can answer me off list, I would appreciate it.  For several 
years, i have been using a Mustek scanner(MPS-6000CX) in conjunction 
with a 486.  Earlier this week I replaced a generic 14.4 voice modem 
with a USR Vi 28.8. voice , fax, data modem.  The scanner locks up 
halfway through its cycle if the modem is in a slot(whether or not it 
is even engaged to win 95.  The modem is on com 2, IRQ3, my mouse is 
on com 1, IRQ 4.  My sb 16(my link to von :-) ) is on IRQ5. DMA 1,7 
respectively.  None of the eight possible settings for I/O on the 
scsi board will work .  If I remove the new modem, the scanner works 
perfectly.  Calls to Mustek(they claim not to have encountered the 
problem before) were to no avail, while all the suggestions pout 
forward by USR were useless(e.g., moving sb16 to IRQ 10, and putting 
modem on com 3 on IRQ 5.  I did try out all possible combinations of 
com port and IRQ thatwin 95 would allow(3 ports, roughly 3 IRQ 
possibilities per port).  Also add in 8 possible I/O addresses for 
each IRQ.  Has any one encountered a solution for this problem?
