    I'm using Linux 2.2.18 at the moment with an Adaptec 2940. My scanner
    doesn't scan beyond the physical scan area at least not in the modes I
    tried. What did you do exactly? A preview scan or a full size scan?
    In which resolution and mode?

    I'm asking all these questions because I don't think I have changed
    anything concerning the Pro scanner between 104 and 105. But you never
    know...

    It's not in the inquiry information like for the other Mustek scanners
    but you can get the information from a "request sense" command. If a
    TA is present, byte 2 of the sense buffer is 0x40, otherweise it's 0.
    I have implemented that in my code but I'm not sure if it works. I
    think I sent you the source some hours ago. If it doesn't work because
    of the other problems maybe you can extract the detection cahnges and
    try them in 104.

    GIMP can't handle more than 8 bit/color. But you shouldn't get a
    message from KDE but from xsane.

    This doesn't happen here. Maybe this one and the "out of scan area"
    problem are related to SCSI driver bugs? Can you test this with a
    different SCSI controller?

    Thanks for the report.

    Bye,
