OK, thanks for the advice!  I fixed up the /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf and
the "plustek-devs.c" files so the ID strings now match. Did a make and
make install.  I also fixed the ID problem I had in the
/etc/modules.conf file.

I do a SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=255 scanimage -L and here is the relevant
output:

Here's what else I know about this scanner:

1) It is a compact sheetfed-only scanner.  It does not function as a
flatbed at all. It is designed primarily as a portable USB scanner, but
we have a need to use it for a specialized scanning application here.

2) It has  a single button on the top of the scanner that signals the
(Windoze) driver to start the scan.  No other LEDs or buttons on the
unit.

3) It also has a photo paper sensor that tells that signals Windoze when
a sheet has been inserted for scanning.

4) I think it uses a CIS scanner module, model # SV651A4C (syscan).
Specs I can find are: 600 DPI max, color, scan size- 216mm wide (A4).
Speed is 8.0ms/line color and 3.0ms/line BW. More specs are linked on
this page, but I cannot get to them for some reason.
(http://www.syscaninc.com/en/products/cispl.htm)

5) I've talked to the "engineering" dept. at Syscan about supporting
this device under SANE, but they said they "don't know anyone who is
using SANE". I tried to explain that SANE is very popular, but didn't
seemd to make any progress in getting their help or cooperation.

Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?

Thanks, - Ted
