I have seen almost the same thing with a BusLogic BT958B and the
author of the driver advised me that connecting the wide external
connector to the (scanner's) db25 isn't considered legal scsi. He
suggested getting another scsi card with a narrow external port which
I plan to do soon.
No change on sane or kernel upgrades for me (to the better - with the
lastest kernels, I get dead-locks, earlier I "only" saw the scanner
device disappear).
