scanimage won't recognize my Agfa snapscan 600

xscanimage and scanimage cannot find my scanner!

I'm running an Agfa Snapscan 600 on an Adaptec 1505 SCSI.

here's the puzzle:

- find-scanner returns

find-scanner: found scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 600 1.20" at device
/dev/scanner
find-scanner: found scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 600 1.20" at device /dev/sg0

- the devices are readable

ll /dev/scanner /dev/sg0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 10 19:51 /dev/scanner ->
/dev/sg0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 21, 0 Dec 11 18:21 /dev/sg0

- the configuration file /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf contains

> cat /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
/dev/scanner

- 'scanimage -d snapscan:/dev/scanner' returns

scanimage: open of device snapscan:/dev/scanner failed: Invalid argument

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards
richard
