  Hope this makes sense... I just used to have a scaner in the scsi dept.
  Recently added an ide-cdburner which needs the fake-scsi stuff to run.

  Due to this I had to change the scanner scsi device from sga to sgb.
  Now, I have:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 13 13:13 scanner -> sgb
  crw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 21, 0 May 5 1998 sga
  crw-rw---- 1 root scanner 21, 1 May 5 1998 sgb

  and all works fine. Only problem is that when xsane starts up it lists 2
  scanners and I have to pick one of them. The 2 it lists are

  microtek:/dev/scanner
  microtek:/dev/sgb

  These are the same devices! Besides, when I had dev/scanner-->sga it
  never was a problem. Can someone tell me what's going on?

  Also, find-scanner reports:

  find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 1.80" at device /dev/scanner
  find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 1.80" at device /dev/sg1
  find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 1.80" at device /dev/sgb

  I'm not sure what the sg[0-9] entries are for, but they are links to
  sg[a-h].

  Thanks.
