I know as I had it running on my Linux Alpha system for nearly a year
running various versions of sane (up to 0.74).

I did read the document and got the driver installed before persuing the
issue. (The lot is on /usr/local)

Just redid it. But to no avail.

It's there.

[sanei_init_debug]: Setting debug level of sanei_scsi to 128.
[sanei_scsi] sanei_scsi_open: `i' is not a valid target id
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
I can't find related info to the mentioned target id.
