    Just to add to the confusion. Scanners should work just fine with
    BIOS-Less SCSI. I've run Epson GT series scanners off Adaptec AV150x
    cards under Linux frequently in the past. The 150x cards are ISA, and do
    not have a BIOS. The BIOS is handy for Hard drives/other devices that
    need to boot, but are not required to get the scanner to work. I
    honestly don't think this is your problem.

    Question is, does RedHat 9 actually SEE the scsi card? To find out, have
    a look through your boot messages and check whether it picks up the card.

    Regards,
    Ed.
