  Hi.. I have used my Mustek 1200 LS with both the AHA 1520 & 1542 cards..
  Throw the mustek card away.. it does skip across a pond fairly well..but
  that is its limitation .. : )
  Compiling a card into a kernel does not insure that it will work..
  This simply makes the code available on boot.. The card must have
  parameters to pass to the kernel.. example i/o address 0x340...irq 11
  I do not compile my SCSI cards into the kernel but instead use modules...
  Try insmod to load your SCSI card w/ parameters to try it out...
  It should work...
  As I am working on as OS/2 laptop right now, and need to look at
  my LINUX box to see specs.. But I will email you again with my
  exact Insmod sequence to to load the modules and then if all works,
  the modules can then be set to load at boot...
