If it is neither on the supported nor unsupported list, chances are it is
unsupported. Unless it is hardware compatible with something supported.
Your manual says nothing about compatibility?
You could of course try compiling a kernel supporting every scsi
controller linux can use and see if yours is detetected by any of the
drivers.

I ought to be useful. There may be support for some newer cards, but you
want something cheap if the scanner is your only use.
Think carefully though, scsi is a good interface for disks. Buying a good
scsi adapter now let you go for scsi the next time you need more disk
space, whenever that may be.
