SANE and UMAX scanner on MESH

[Adam C Powell IV <hazelsct@mit.edu>]

Greetings,

I am having trouble getting my new UMAX Astra 1220S scanner recognized.
It is at ID 6, with a zip drive at ID 5, on a StarMax 3000/160 (pmac
4400 clone).  MacOS recognizes it and scans from it just fine- well, if
you ignore the frequent crashes and required Adobe Deluxe shipped with
the scanner but which needs a nonexistent serial number... which is why
I'd like to do this in free software!

So, I rebuilt the kernel with SCSI generic support, so I was able to
`MAKEDEV sg' but it made /dev/sg0 through 16, not sga, sgb, etc.
/proc/scsi/scsi is not showing the scanner, just the zip drive.  Here's
what is reported during the scsi init at boot time (from dmesg):

scsi0 : MESH
scsi : 1 host.
  Vendor: IOMEGA    Model: ZIP 100          Rev: D.13
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
mesh: target 6 aborted
scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total.
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 196608 [96 MB] [0.1
GB]
sda: Write Protect is off

And there are no more related messages.  Can Linux not detect a scanner
on PPC, or perhaps, is there a problem with generic SCSI on MESH?

Also, /usr/doc/sane/tools/find-scanner is missing!  scanimage -L is
there, but gives no reply, meaning no scanner is detected.

Does anyone have a scanner working on MESH?

Thanks,
