I got a number of good replies from my origianl posting. So I would like
to post my solution to the groups here.

I am using a 200MHz Pentium with IDE drives. I added the Adaptec AHA1502AE
SCSI card that came with my Microtek E6 scanner purchased in December
1997. My OS is RedHat Linux 5.0 with the 2.0.31 kernel. It was installed
with default choices before getting the scanner and SCSI card. That
installation had modular SCSI support compiled in.

I prefer to start up the scanner infrequently after boot-up. Hence, I
wrote 2 scripts that 1) enable SCSI card driver, and 2) starup scanner.
See below:

1)
#!/bin/bash
# script to start up AHA1502AX SCSI card for scanner

modprobe /lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/aha152x.o aha152x=0x140,9

2)
#!/bin/bash
# script to start up SANE's xscanimage with Microtek E6 scanner

xscanimage microtek:/dev/sga &

All works well now, Allen
