That's exactly what happens here, too.
The only difference is that I can't even unload the SCSI module (resource busy).

Well, I haven't tried it too often, but in most, not all, cases it locks up.

They actually seem to be accepted, but that shouldn't change the result anyway.
Does it still lock up when you change the mode to Gray? Here, it still does,

How big is your SCSI buffer?
Where does the scanner stop? (ruler on the scanner)
I don't have any idea what could be the problem.
