Martin, You and a couple others have undoubtedly identified the problem, which is that the termination at my scanner is not compatible with the 32-bit SCSI adapter.
While configuring the SCSI adapter might be possible, it seems simpler just to toss in a simple additional PCI SCSI adapter (I'm thinking of the Adaptec 2906) just for the scanner. I've had painful experience before controlling which SCSI adapter gets which device interface, but hopefully things will go better Thanks for the help and for tolerating an OT question. Haines
