  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?
