I reset the factory defaults for the controller card, it has a series of
options including 'Adapter Configuration' and 'SCSI Configuration'which
contained
SCSI Disconnection   set at  'yes' to all (reset 'no' to all)

Running scanimage -d umax:/dev/scanner fails as before, however using xsane
to acquire a preview  starts and runs and displays the image successfully,
which seems to indicate that the adapter chain is ok.

Running 'scan' in xsane fails, I can hear the scanner attempt to start then
the activity led shuts down.

Sorry it took so long to think of trying xsane.
