found SCSI processor "EPSON SCANNER GT-30000 1.53" at /dev/sg1

I've can scan with iscan SLOW .. see below but not a sane issue ...

 the epkowa backend can not see the scanner, commented out everything
in epson and epson2 and only
have net, epson, epson2 and epkowa in dll.conf If I comment out SCSI
in epson and epson2 .. no can find.

could the issue be in the udevd ?

added SCSI in various forms, copied what was in epson, epson2 and
various other incarnations.

on another side note iscan took a LONG time to do the scan with a lot
of back and forth. change sg's buffer up to 1M that really didnt work.
The adapter is PCI-X on its own PCI bus, but the interface is 20 MHz
It starts at 320 and keeps going down, down and down.
The scanner is suppose to be SCSI-3 .. anyone at Epson can tell me
what I'm doing ? The last time I called they told me to call
Microsoft, they just didn't get it .. even made the output goto file
on a 512MB ram disk, didn't help.

this whole thing started because I though my desktop PC was too slow,
consumer PCI, old Adaptec 2940UW, etc etc

can anyone get at GT-30000 to not have to jog ?
