  I've set my BIOS to EPP now.  It turns out my scanner cable wasn't 
up to snuff, so I've borrowed one, and have gotten a bit further.

  Now 'make load' works, and all indications (eg. lsmod) are that the 
pt drv has loaded, but "scanimage -L" is saying that no scanners were 
identified (nor does sane-find-scanners, but I understand it doesn't 
find parallel scanners anyway). : (

  I inserted the lines that the INSTALL file advised me to into 
modules.conf:

alias char-major-40	pt drv
pre-install pt drv modprobe -k parport
options pt drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=0 mov=0 
slowIO=1

  lp.o was loaded and I "rmmod"ed it, but it doesn't seem to have made 
a difference.

  I'm at a loss as to what do next.  As far as I can tell, everything 
is working - I think I just need to tell Linux where the scanner is, 
but I'm not sure how to do that.

  Any advice?

  Thanx.
