That is what the sane-umax backend docs state so I didn't even plug
in the supplied card. I had replaced my Adaptec 2940 with a BusLogic
BT-958. Heard the aic7xxx-5.1.2 driver is now stable so I pluged in 
the Adaptec to handle the scanner & cdrom (slow device chain). You
might want to consider 2 scsi chains because when the scanner is
running it blocks the scsi bus it is attached to. Sane-0.74d works
well. Make sure to compile the backend with Oliver Rausch's UMAX
patch, allows gamma correction. For what it's worth I ordered a
NCR810 to control the slow bus. The Adaptec still seems flaky. It's
a 1994 card - haven't upgraded the bios - suspect that is the real
problem.
