If possible do not change the default settings for this adapter.
If the scanner moves the scanhead a little bit, this is usually
an indication, that the settings for disconnect/reconnect are
wrong. Try it with aha152x="0x140,11,7,1,1 . This is what I use
(with interrupt 10 instead of 11).

Once the scanner is running and you experience problems with
wrong (transposed) colors, you should download the 0.7 release
of the backend from
