Yes, I'd like that too. It seems strange that USB is mutually
exclusive at compile-time with SCSI.
My Agfa Snapscan 1212U mostly works now. I only get the occasional
permanent lock-up of SANE and the scanner now. It scans at all tested
resolutions in colour, though I haven't tried gey-scale yet or any of
the other fancy options. It *really* did not like it when I tried to
scan at 300 dpi and forgot to remove the "preview" option from the
command-line.
I'd still like to find the conditions under which it locks up, and
find a way of resetting it without rebooting.

Ah, maybe that's the cause of the lockup. What is a USB bulk_msg? Do
you know why it locks up the kernel driver? "scanimage -T" seems to
work OK most of the time, it's only when a previous operation failed
that it locks up.
