In my opinion, if your scanner is something expensive, you should
purchase a scsi controller which is well supported under Linux.
You would spare lots of time and probably money as well.
If you mother board supplies PCI connectors a ASUS SC200 wich uses a
NCR53C810A chip and provides active terminators is a good choice.
You can download the latest revision 1.18c of the ncr53c8xx driver
which enables all the features of this chip from linux.wauug.org.
