Some years ago I wrote a SCSI scanner driver for a Microtek scanner on
SunOS.  I'll dig out a copy and mail it to you for general interest.
It will almost certainly be of no practical use, because as David
Hogan has observed, every scanner does things differently - not just
in the format of scanned data received but in the repertoire of
commands for controlling density, contrast, area to be scanned, etc.
