Not necessarily related (unless you have multiple devices in your SCSI chain), but I have an 600s, and it was just about useless unless it was the only device connected. I'm not sure how I stumbled across it, but the following link: http://www.chipmunk.nl/astraterminator.html held the solution to my problem. By Default 'termination power' is not enabled (one of the pins on the scsi cable carries power which is used by the terminator). There is a quick mod (described step-by-step) you can do to fix this; it involves changing a jumper on the scanner motherboard. I realise that this is a warranty-voiding operation, but I was so exasperated by the lack of system stability with the scanner connected that I did the mod, and the scanner has been flawless since. anyway, FWIW, it may or may not be relevant to the 610s. cheers, Hugh ps. to reply, remove the second "w" in highbroww
