 have read the docs as well as the SCSI 2.4 how to but am still none the 
wiser as to why I get the following output from sane-find-scanner
===========================================

======================================================
I only have one scanner , microtek e3 connected to a adpaptec 1524 scsi card 
(shipped with scanner). The aha152x scsi driver is loaded as a module. The 
kernel is 2.4.18. The correct irq and io are passed as params to the module. 
The system is a PII 400 MHZ , Asus MBrd , 128 mb RAM, Pheonix BIOS. I have an 
older Zip 100 disk (parralell) that is loaded as a module and sits at sda4. I 
have my own script for loading the zip as I need to modprobe lp before I do, 
then modprobe ppa.
I get the same result even if I don't load the zip and lp modules but only 
prob the aha152x module manually.
I am probably missing something really simple here but I can't see what it is 
so would appreciate some help as i have been fiddling with thsi for the past 
few weeks trying to get it to work.
BTW this is a dual boot system (win 98 SE) and the scanner works just fine in 
Windows , but i would really like to skip booting into windows every time i 
want to use the scanner.
anf FYI the out of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" is below:
