Have scanned (ha ha) it and the only thing that seems out of order is
scsiinfo /dev/sg2 returns no info

raphael:/u/martin# scsiinfo -e /dev/sg2

Unable to read Read-Write Error Recovery Page 01h

Beginning to suspect a SCSI problem.  I'll try the scanner on another
machine when I get a chance.

> chmod 666 /dev/sg2
Initially it was:

[martin@raphael martin]$ ls -la /dev/sg2
crw-------    1 root     root      21,   2 Mar 15  2002 /dev/sg2

I originally performed all the attempts to scan as root so that
permissions wouldn't be a problem.  After chmod 666 I get identical
results to the ones originally quoted.

Cheers,
 - Martin
