 OK, here's an update on this. I finally got this thing working. Thank<br>
you to all of the respondents. After trying several solutions and<br>
getting no results I contacted Adaptec. Tech support there tried to help<br>
me set up the card for Windows and it still wouldn't work. They sent me<br>
a new card in return for the one I had. I still had problems but after<br>
some changes in the BIOS and some hacking I finally was able to scan<br>
some images with xscanimage. During bootup I see that the scanner is<br>
recognized with the name UMAX.<br>
