I have an Epson GT8500 / ES1200C at home, connected to an
Adaptec 2940 together with 6 other devices (yes, the SCSI
bus is _full_). Works like a charm. I can even scan and
write a CD-R at the same time, however, I tend to try to
avoid this. :-)
At the university's computing centre we have an HP ScanJet
6100C connected to the built-in SCSI adapter of a SUN Sparc-
Station-5. OK, this is not FreeBSD, but Solaris. But it's
also driven by SANE, so it should work with FreeBSD as well.
Anyway -- if you buy a SCSI scanner, don't buy a cheap one.
The cheap ones tend to have crippled SCSI interfaces, and
you end up having to use a separate SCSI adapter just for
the scanner. I think at the SANE homepage there is a table
which lists the "good" and the "bad" ones. ;-)
Regards
Oliver
