I'll just hold it on account -- I will doubtless have some GBP15 questions
of my own in the future [1]. Really, I'm glad to be of help, I've had
enough help from this list in the past.

Both SANE and the kernel have had updates since I last had a go at the
scanner -- I don't know if it is a SANE backend problem or a SCSI card
driver problem. I build new kernels and SANE versions every so often and
it has gone from no response (2.0.34+SANE0.78) to total lockup (2.2.1 with
SANE0.78) to almost works (2.2.1+SANE1.00+interim artec backend), so I
have great hopes that it will work properly next time I try!
All the best

[1] Like, why do the PCMCIA cards (modem and network card) on my laptop
detect perfectly on boot, but are detected as "anonymous memory" if you
plug them in after booting? I thought the whole point was that they could
be hot swapped. Not a high-priority worry as I have exactly 2 slots and
exactly 2 cards, but I'm curious. I just installed the pcmcia-core and
pcmcia modules packages and did no tweaking so I probably just havn't RTFM
enough yet.
