Dear Mick,
I don't know the OS/2, but is my thought in Linux for your help?

In the Linux, the way of setting the conf file that is "canon.conf" is here.
http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane/Install2700F.txt
In this case the way of FB620S and 2700F are the same.

3. How to install SANE for the Canon 2700 film scanner ?
--------------------------------------------------------
Fetch the latest SANE distribution from the SANE homepage at:
http://www.mostang.com/sane.
Unpack and configure it.
Get the latest canon backend from Manuel's homepage:
http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane
Put the files in the sane/backend directory as described in the
README of the package. This overwrites the existing canon.* files
with the latest version of these files.
Compile and install SANE.
Add the "canon" scanner to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf file:
-------- cut here ------------
# enable the next line if you want to allow access through the
network:
#net
pnm
#mustek
#hp
#qcam
#umax
canon
-------- cut here ------------
Add a "canon.conf" file to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d directory:
-------- cut here ------------
scsi CANON
-------- cut here ------------
Check the available scanners:
scanimage -L
This should give something like this:
device `canon:/dev/sg0' is a CANON IX-27015C film scanner
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
=====================================================
This is Mr.Manuel Panea's web site.
There will be many good information for you.
And the newest canon backend files for FB620S is in Dr Ulrich's ftp.
It is here: ftp://stthd0.pc.uni-koeln.de/pub/canon-1.08.tar.gz
> Currently been trying variations of:
> scsi canon
I think "scsi CANON" is better than "scsi canon".
> b2t2l0 # <- this is the device
It is not necessary in "canon.conf".
For Linux the device is /dev/sgx. x:0 or a or b or....
So, I made the symbolic link: ln -s /dev/sgx /dev/scanner.
And for Linux, I deleted the ppm files for example
"preview-canon:+-dev+-scanner.ppm" and so on in
/home/.sane/.
But would you check if the OS recognized the scsi device at the starting of
OS/2?

I cannot understand why "SCSI CANON" was showed.

Could this mail help for you by my poor knowledge?
