Document Title: SGI using second SCSI bus
Date Published: March 29, 1995
Problem:
Pixel!SCAN is not seeing the scanner on SCSI bus 1 on SGI machines.
Cause:
Pixel!SCAN works on SCSI bus 0 by default.
Solution:
Follow these procedures to use the second SCSI bus on SGI machines:
1) Become super-user.
2) rm /<device file>
<device file> is a name like /dev/scanJetIIc_5. A user can find the name of this device
after Setup is run. The file $PIXELFXDIR /scanner.ref references <device file>
3) mknod <device file> c 195 <minor number>
the <minor number> is 195 + the SCSI address setting on the scanner.
4) chmod 666 /dev/<device file>
