Thanks. I have downloaded it, and will try it this evening. On a somewhat
unrelated note, I am having trouble re-initializing the scanner after it off.
It is detected fine by the kernel on bootup.

I turn on the V300, and then issue a

echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 6 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

command with root. The green light at the front of the scanner turns off, and
then the computer starts becoming unresponsive. If I don't turn off the
scanner, eventually the kernel freezes. Turning off the scanner allows the
scsi driver to return to normal. Leaving the scanner on during boot seems to
work fine. Maybe I should test this thing under win95 (ugh) just to make sure
it works. This is a Tekram 390F (UltraWide). I am using a SCSI-3 cable (68pin
on one end, 50pin Centronics to the scanner, with an inline passive
terminator). Could the terminator be the problem? I don't need an active
terminator, do I?
