I've been doing some work with a SCSI-connected Epson scanner. I have some code which is beginning to look pretty good wrt the Epson. It is possible, however, to get the scanner in an error state (error code E-1 on the scanner - protocol error). When this happens, only powering the scanner off/on will resert this. Sending the scanner an initialize command (or anything for that matter) results in a SCSI error. Now when the NeXT boots, the system is doing some sort of reset to each of the SCSI devices. I presume this is some sort of low-level SCSI reset command. I'd like to have some means to reset the device to recover from this error state. I did not see anything in ioctl.h and in a few other includes. I'd appreciate some mail from anyone who can give me some leads (Jiro??). Thanks in advance!
