Thanks for reply

sane-find-scanner        tells:
found SCSI scanner "SCANNER V01" at /dev/sg3
 # Your SCSI scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by 
SANE. Try
 # scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

scanimage -L               tells:
device `mustek:/dev/sg3' is a Mustek ScanExpress 12000SP Plus flatbed 
scanner

The same results I had in openSuSe 11.1

dmx3191-adapter was in the box with scanner
I've never used scsi-port except scanner and now only scanner is 
connected to adapter.

I think my problem is a driver problem, something wrong with settings. 
Maybe timing, maybe buffer size. I hope scanner can work propely.

I've just thought about 64-bit system. Maybe problem is because of x64?
