A kernel that has been enhanced with USB and scanner support sees this scanner correctly, and SANE detects what it is and allows me to use programs such as `scanimage'.
However, a problem that I found -- and I don't know whether this is a problem with Linux support or whether I am doing something wrong -- is that the scans have worse colors than they would if the same document/photo is scanned in Windows.
Maybe the Windows software that comes with the scanner (which requires 300 MB of hard drive space, BTW!) does some special post-processing to get the images to look normal, but the image quality in Linux definitely looks inferior.
It maybe has something to do with the fact that SANE does not properly control the scanner. When I request a scan at a high resolution, the scanner goes forward some distance, then jumps back a fraction of that distance... then goes forward again, and jumps back again. On Windows, it smoothly goes only forward.

I do not use onboard sound and video, but I do use everything else (USB). Along with AMD Athlon 3000+ XP, the motherboard works fine.
