Well it should be compatible, but as posts in different forums indicate, not fully integrateable in SANE.
SUSE recognises the scanner during install and installs a USB driver for it. However, this driver does not seem to work properly; the scanner is not recognised when the system is running.
I have found third party USB drivers at http://www.littlecms.com/iphoto/ot.tar.gz .
Alas, the drivers are in source format which would require something I haven't done yet in Linux (configure, make, make install).
There is another page with visioneer drivers:
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/stevenel/scanner/
but not for the 8600, although the chipset should be compatible with Primax 19200 and visioneer 7600. I haven't tried them yet.
