Hhm, I have never experienced that the whole system gets locked. Does
this happen always or only under certain circumstances ?

This is a known bug in the version of the backend that was distributed
with sane-0.73. You might want to try
ftp://ftp.muc.de/people/bernds/mtek2/microtek2-0.3.tar.gz.
This version fixes the bug with the inverted 1-bit modes (and maybe it
helps that the system doesn't lock).

I do not completely understand what you mean with this question, but at
least I can tell that a backend must support a TMA, and this is currently
not the case with the microtek(2) backend.
