Not quite correct: First of all it was an EPSON Expression 1600
scanner and James has no first hand experience with this scanner -
I have one here running with the IEEE1394 interface, and it was
me who fixed the SBP-2 driver to allow for the EPSON scanner to
work. EPSON is not doing anything special, so I would guess that
ever other scanner with an IEEE-1394 interface would also work
as long as SANE supports the SCSI version of the scanner.
