It is detected, as well as the scanner, and VueScan sees the scanner, but if I press the Preview button VueScan hangs. After that the kernel starts complaining about "aborting command due to timeout", resetting bus etc... Trying the atp870u.c from the link above did not succeed: it does not compile with new kernels :-( I have seen similar reports on the Net -- it seems the problem really exists even in newer kernels. Maybe this mail belongs to linux-scsi, not here... --Max Ushakov.
