    Hm, you are right, I don't have a real good Idea. But a few thoughts:
    - You didn't make accidentally a firmware "upgrade" on the other
    machine (the revision was also 2.21 before)? (don't know if this
    could happen, probably not)
    - Try scanning with Windows and then boot Linux without switching off
    the scanner and the computer in between
    - Try scanning with and without backend calibration
    -Try my newest backend (microtek2_200104018) at
    http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag
    -There was a patch for scanners that hang at the same command as yours
    now, I have to look at home after it (I'm at work now).

    all in all it's a little bit strange. The programs on your machine
    (kernel, modules, SANE) were the same before and after you moved the scanner
    around?
