I have an Umax 2200 SCSI scanner. I have an Adnsys SCSI card. This was
working under 9.1. When I installed 9.2, I had to plug the scanner into
the USB port to get it to work. 9.2 has problem finding SCSI cards.

I have considered compiling a kernel to see if it will find the SCSI
card, but I have the scanner working on a USB port so it is not really
worth it. I would like to free up either the usb port or the pci
port... the scanner won't work in windows on the usb port, and now it
won't work in linux on the scsi port.
