I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this kind of question. I have a Microtek Scanmaker E3 Plus connected to my Amiga 1200 via a phase5 SCSI-Kit IV, and I'm running Debian GNU/Linux on a 2.0.36 kernel. SANE sounds like just what I need, so I got and compiled the SANE-1.0.1 source. The output from find-scanner seems promising:

root@Tintin:/usr/src/sane-1.0.1> tools/find-scanner
find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 300A4 5.10" at device /dev/scanner
find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 300A4 5.10" at device /dev/sg2
find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 300A4 5.10" at device /dev/sgc

but when I run scanimage it just spits out a large amount of information about the scanner followed by a rather unhealthy-looking error code:

root@Tintin:/usr/src/sane-1.0.1> scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/scanner >/tmp/test.pnm

Scanner attributes from device structure
========================================

Scanner ID...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vendor Name: ' '
Model Name: 'Scanner 300A4 '
Revision: '5.10'
Model Code: 0x92 (E3+ or Vobis Highscan)
Device Type Code: 0x06 (Scanner),

***snip***

Sh trnsf func equ: 0
Buffer type: Ping-Pong
FEPROM: No
scanimage: open of device microtek2:/dev/scanner failed: Unknown SANE status code -1072740600

"scanimage -L" just gives the same "Scanner attributes" text but without the error message at the end.

I don't really know what to try next, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I realise there may not be (m)any SANE users/developers with Amigas running Linux, but no harm in asking :^)

What makes the universe so hard to comprehend is that there's nothing to compare it with.
