Hi Chris,

AFAIK, there is no SANE backend for that scanner, not even in alpha version.
According to http://www.mostang.com/pipermail/sane-devel/2002-February/001850.html
it is possible you have a scanner compatible with a umax 1200 or 2000.

If you are that determined, you could get some usb traces of a very small scan 
under windows with SnoopyPro and post them to a web site. Maybe someone will 
recognize some patterns.

SnoopyPro is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/
