Having just read it again myself, from the rpm, sane-backends-1.0.5-4

 BusLogic BT958
                     To configure the BusLogic card, you may need
                     to follow these instructions (contributed by
                     Jeremy <jeremy at xxedgexx.com>): During  boot,
                     when your BusLogic adapter is being initial­
                     ized, press Ctrl-B to  enter  your  BusLogic
                     adapter  setup.   Choose  the  address which
                     your BusLogic  containing  your  scanner  is
                     located.  Choose  ``SCSI  Device  Configura­
                     tion''.  Choose ``Scan SCSI  Bus''.   Choose
                     whatever  SCSI id that contains your scanner
                     and then choose ``View/Modify SCSI  configu­
                     ration''.     Change    ``Negotiation''   to
                     ``async''  and  change   ``Disconnect''   to
                     ``off''.  Press  Esc,  save,  and  Esc again
                     until you are asked to reboot.
