I have successfully scanned with a Microtek E3 on a BT-948 card using
sane-0.67.  sane-0.71 doesn't work for me, but it doesn't hang my
system, either.

I had a Adaptec 1505A (simpler than the 1520, but the same driver) but
it would panic when I tried to scan with sane-0.67.  It looks like
it's just an unimplemented command so someone who had some actual
knowledge about SCSI could probably fix it so that it would work.

This is using /dev/uk0 , not /dev/pt0 , under 2.2-STABLE (pre 2.2.5).

I suspect that sane-0.71 is doing things that aren't quite supported
under FreeBSD for the Microtek, but I haven't had a chance to look at
it.
