Yes, this computer does have two SCSI busses. It's an AXi based motherboard
which came that way. There are two "unit 0" because there are two buses.
That's why the SCG driver created /dev/scg0 and /dev/scg1.

I bought it with the commercial SCSI driver SG-lite which came as a
binary with very little docs. The most I got was from the README
that came with it:
Please direct all questions to us at tummy.com, ltd. via e-mail at
<sg@tummy.com> or by viewing our WWW page at "http://www.tummy.com/sg".
I have no idea if it's conflicting and don't have any way of knowing.
I guess one way is to install the 64-bit SCG driver and reboot in 64
bit mode as there is no 64 bit SG driver. Well, there is, but the
writer was WAY too much money for a driver I only need for occasional
home scanning needs.

Hmmm... Does it work with the GIMP plug-in??

This is a 64-bit machine, 440Mhz cpu, running Solaris 8, so that's pretty
recent stuff and I can't even get scanimage to work at all!!!
Thanks for everyone's help.
