I'm not absolutely sure about your description:

You have a scanner that's called "ADF Color Scanner" and "SF600AS"?
Who is the manufacturer of this scanner?

Is it the same as the "IBM ADF Color Scanner" or does it just have the
same name?

The problem is that "ADF Color Scanner" is a really generic name.
That's like Mercedes would cal one of it's car "Blue Car".

I don't think it's supported by SANE currently. As far as I know, SANE
supports only one scanner that uses a proprietary card, that's the
Mustek 600 II N.
