Microtek scanner help

[Jim Foltz <jfoltz@raex.com>]

Hello,

I borrowed a Microtek E3 scanner from a friend. I set it up in Windows
95 first, and it works well there. Now I am trying to use it in Linux
and am having some difficulty.

It came with a Adaptec AVA1502AE ISA to SCSI Host Adapter with external
SCSI connector.

I compiled in support for generic scsi in the kernel.
I downloaded the sane package from stable.

When I try to use scanimage or xscanimage, I get the following error:

scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument


I've been reading the docs, but I'm still not sure what the problem is.

I noticed some drivers for adaptec's AHA cards, but none for the AVA
card. Am I screwed because there is no driver th my particular card?

The docs keep talking about /dev/sga, which I don't have and which MAKEDEV
didn't make. I have only sg0 - sg9.

I made a link between /dev/sg0 and /dev/scanner, but no joy. 

I would appreciate a kick in the right direction.

Thanks.
