The output for "model" and for "type" look quite wrong. While a few scanners indeed do not provide proper vendor/model information, at least the "type" field should show "Scanner" or "Processor". I suspect that your hardware is broken. Check the cables and the termination of the SCSI bus. If these thigs look ok, you should try to connect the scanner to another adapter and/or to connect another SCSI device to the adapter. Abel
