Blush ... I performed a /dev/MAKEDEV sg-all and re-ipled ... now
find-scanner reports:

find-scanner: found scanner " Scanner 600A4 2.10" at device /dev/sg1

But I am probably too stupid to understand what to do next since:

$ scanimage --list-devices
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device

does not report the scanner. I am sure skipping some customization step
....

Still in need of your help. Thank you Bob.
