Yes. The Mustek USB backend supports an unlimited number of scanners.
I have tested 3 USB and 2 SCSI scanners simultaniously :-)

As far as I know, this won't work. Some weeks ago there was a
discussion about autoloading and you may find an answer in the mailing

modprobe command in a start file.

That's correct: /dev/scanner should NOT point to an USB device.
