[sane-devel] USB->SCSI converters and sane

[David Ronis]

I recently upgraded my computer and a scsi card I use to connect my
scanner (a Umax Astra 1200S) no longer is supported by the new
motherboard.  There are lots of USB ports though, and I was considering
simply buying a USB-SCSI converter, as it seems to be cheaper than
buying a new card.   Will this work?   I use xsane/sane to use this 
scanner.

If so, what kernel drivers need  to be built?  I've looked at the SCSI 
kernel configuration options and
nothing jumps out at me (other than USB->Serial drivers).

Please CC me directly as I don't subscribe to this list.

Thanks in advance.
