  Actually, the sane-scsi manpage made me think, because it claims that the SCSI
  ISA cards that are shipped with Mustek scanners (I'm still not sure this really
  is a Mustek scanner since it doesn't say anything about Mustek on the box, but
  it is listed as supported in the Mustek back-end ;)) -- anyway, it says that
  those cards are generally very bad quality and it goes on about that the
  scanning process will probably eat up all resources because they have no
  interrupt line; and that I should by a cheap NCR810 card ;)

  But anyway, this kernel has a SYM53C8XX driver that "supports all the features
  of recent 53C8XX chips (used in PCI SCSI controllers), notably the Hardware
  phase mismatch feature of the SYM53C896." It guess I should use that one; it's
  already compiled in, though. Guess I need to read drivers/scsi/README.ncr53c8xx
  and try to manually configure it *shrugs*
