Thanks to Martin Huber, I now have scanners working with SANE and the
scg driver. Here's his help:

Subject: Re: SANE SCSI inquiry failure on Solaris 2.5.1

This looks as if you don't have defined SOLARIS_INTERFACE in sanei_scsi.c.

Please check include/sane/config.h. The string

#define HAVE_SYS_SCSI_TARGETS_SCGIO_H 1

should be there, while all other SCSI related definitions should be
#undef'ed (and commented out).
Look at sanei_scsi.c, Line 790 to 817. (Perhaps compile find_scanner
and use gdb). You will see that there the c is stripped off.

The reason HAVE_SYS_SCSI_TARGETS_SCGIO_H wasn't defined was that I'd
run the `configure' script on a host that scg wasn't installed and
this check failed:

checking for sys/scsi/targets/scgio.h... no

So if you're intending to use the scg driver be sure to install that
package *before* configuring/compiling the SANE software. It might
be good to make a note of that in one of the README files.

The only trouble I've noticed are these messages which occur during
scanning:

Sep 19 17:54:36 shimmer saned[442]: access by sjk@halo.lux.com accepted
Sep 19 17:54:55 shimmer unix: handle_incomplete: 1 retry cnt: 27
Sep 19 18:01:16 shimmer last message repeated 100 times
Sep 19 18:02:54 shimmer unix: handle_incomplete: 1 retry cnt: 27
Sep 19 18:05:39 shimmer last message repeated 64 times

Those are coming from the scg driver; running `strings' on it reveals:

handle_incomplete: %d retry cnt: %d

I'm including Jörg Schilling on this message in case he has any
idea what's causing that -- I'm clueless without source code.
