I'm trying to sort out a PC (AST/Bravo 33/s) which has for some time 
been runnig a (fairly old) Relisys scanner with a parallel 
interface. The literature refers to an I/O address, which 
is set by straps on the interface card, but no Interrupt or DMA. Picture 
Publisher (Micrographx) works OK with the AQUIRE command, which uses 
the TWAIN interface, but fails with the SCAN command, which works 
direct. Wordscan (Calera) claims the board and scanner are missing. I'm 
convinced this is not an I/O contention, as AQUIRE works, and I've 
checked the addresses of everything else in the system. 

Can anybody help with - interrupt or DMA information not in the book?
                      - anything you think I've missed?
