Yesterday, I tried Wine, but unfortunately without success. In fact, I did
not manage Wine to work reliably, and it always crashed (I installed the
oct. 98 version, the one that is part of Debian 2.1). After configuring
the SCSI ID, channel and LUN in wine.conf, and scantest.exe was
succesfully launched, it detected my scanner properly, however when I
clicked on the test scan button, I got a segfault.

OK, thanks, the mirror problem has gone now. So _almost_ everything is
working fine for the Phantom 636cx, excepted these annoying dark stripes.
Do you think it would be possible to reverse-engineer the dll-s of
Microtek to find the solution? Or should I try a newer version of wine
(which was the version of yours)?
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.

PS: I think you can include the settings for Phantom 636cx in the next
release of sane-microtek2. You have only to add the entries for the model
number (0x9a) in microtek2.c and add an if statement to the part where the
backend wants to try the SLIDES option, as the hardware reports wrongly
that Phantom 636cx has a slides option but hangs when the driver queries
it.
