  Sorry that this was bad news for you. If it is any consolation,
  an Adaptec AHA1542B didn't work either. Maybe part of the
  problem is the crappy Macintosh style 25-pin SCSI connector on
  the scanner?

  It is probably the same breed of card under a different name.
  Mine is an Acard card too (though PCI), but has the same atp870
  chip mentioned above (and has "AEC6720D" written on it).

  I got the impression that the version of the sg driver makes a
  lot of difference. The stock-standard 2.2.14 driver panicked
  with both the Acard and the Adaptec cards, the latest version
  for 2.2 kernels (3.0.15 I think) works best. Check the sg home
  page at www.torque.net/sg.

  Cheers
  Steffen.
