  Marcel, I've also been getting IO errors with my Microtek scanner. My
  model is the ScanMaker V6usl. I haven't tried the setting on my scsi
  card, because it works fine from the NT partition of my hard drive.

  Here's the message I sent to this list last week, but I haven't gotten
  any response to it:

  This is on Red Hat 6.1, with SANE installed, I think. I start
  xscanimage, and the xscanimage application opens. xscanimage also
  prints info to the terminal window, and there it says it recognizes the
  make & model of the scanner (Mikrotek ScanMaker V6USL). I haven't made
  any changes to any SANE or xscanimage configuration files. When I try
  and actually "Acquire Preview" or "Scan," it says there is an error,
  that it "Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O." The info in
  the terminal window says:
  " 0: f00005ffffffe91f 0000000024000000 ........ ....$...
  16: 2a00030000610060 0000000001000200 *....a.` ........
  32: 030004000500 ......
  "

  The scanner & SCSI card work on the NT partition of this disk, so I
  assume the card is okay. Do I need to make a change in one of the SANE
  files or the xscanimage files? I've poked around a bit in some of them,
  but I haven't seen anything obvious.
