- Not sure if it is the same problem, but we recently had similar problems
- with a Logitech 256 ScanMan.
-
- What it turned out to be was the bus speed on the 486Sx25 was set too
- fast. In the AMI/BIOS we had to set the Bus Select to 2/4 and everything
- went fine. In other words it is a timing problem with some of the older
- designed cards that were never designed to handle the newer higher performance
- PC's that are available now.
-
- Hope this helps.
