Win UAE and SCSI?

[deviousdoses]

I have had an amiga since gradeschool, from A500 to A4000 tower.  Still have A4000 with warp accelerator 040/40.   My main problem is that I have a Migraph flatbed 2400 optical dpi SCSI scanner.
It works great under the amiga of course, but it is hard to transfer my scans over to pc.  

I have since configured and ran Winuae and I am able to load my custom scan software "colorkit Pro", but even though my PC detects my SCSI scanner, there seems to be no way to communicate, or emulate SCSI through UAE?  I ran tools like SCSI inquire on amiga, and it doesn't find anything?

Is there a way to get SCSI to work on winUAE?

I've heard that Amithlon does a true SCSI emulation?


I've also tried using sane under linux, but alas there are no drivers for my amiga scanner, when I run the command "sane-find-scanner" it of course locates the scanner on scsi device sg0, but again no drivers.

LoL, when I boot up in XP, it finds the scanner, says
found new hardware MIGRAPH 2400 SCSI SCANNER,
but of course there are no drivers for windows.

Since it looks like there will never be drivers released for this scanner for other OS's, I figure using an emulated amiga running the original scan software should work, but I can't seem to communicate or emulate SCSI on winuae?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same here. I've got an Epson 1200s which works like a dream on the PC. There is an issue with the Amiga side of things (which resulted in me blowing up 2 scsi cd-roms ) that meant it never worked on my Blizzard1260 scsi.
I've pretty much tried everything I can think of and concluded that scsi support on WinUAE ain't implemented.
I'd love to be able to use my scanner with ImageFX, but have to put up batch scanning with Irfanview and saving and then running WinUAE/ifx.

Still, there's always OS4......................... :-D

I tried enabling UAEscsi.device from misc tab in the latest winuae, when I plug in my scsi cd roms it sees them on the amiga emulation side, both drives come up in scsi mounter tool, but when I try pluggin in the scanner, the amiga emulation doesn't see it?  

Looks like the scsi emulation in winuae is only for storage dvices... which is wierd cause shapeshifter and emplant are true scsi emulation.

Anybody here use amiga OSXL on linux x86, or amithlon?  I hear they have a real scsi emulation device?
