i am not sure about your model, but a friend of mine got himself a rather
old mustek model himself a 1200xx (don't know exactly). the important
point is: this scanner was not recognised by a normal scsi controller (the
bios scan of the scsi controller did not detect the device). i gave the
friend my dtc card that came with my mustek 600 ii cd (i use a ncr810) and
with this card the windows drivers did work.
i am not sure whether this device will work under linux anyways but a
normal scsi controller will not even detect it (and sane will not be able
to use it).
