"device pass" is configured in my kernel and there are now pass* entries in /dev.
However, when I do "cat /dev/pass*" all the devices come up "device not
configured."  I should also tell you that my scanner is connected in parallel and
does not run out of a SCSI card (I'm not sure if this thing is one of the scanners
that emulates SCSI behavior internally or not).  Just for fun, I tried to run
xsane anyway and it came up with no devices....Thank you for your help thus far
and I would appreciate any further suggestions you might have.
