However there have recently been some reports that it can be made working
somehow ...

Yes. This is a known problem we are currently trying to sort out. It occurs
most visibly at medium resolutions at every SCSI-Buffer boundary.

Setting the strip-height should affect the frequency of the stripes.

Yep.

I do not think so, as it always seems to be at the beginning/end of a
transferred buffer. So I think the last alignment between the current and the
next buffer is not quite right. I don't know, if this is a HW problem, or if
we are doing something wrong.
However the main developer of the Mustek drivers semms to be able to reproduce
this problems recently, so maybe there is hope ...

No. You Controller is just fine. However I would recommend hooking the
scanner to a second card, as it doesn't seem to support disconnect and can
thus hog the SCSI bus for very long times. You may want to use the strip-
height option to limit this time a bit ...
