yes. it simply reads the information provided on the SCSI bus... this
does only mean that the device is connected and switched on and does

such work-a-rounds are often called drivers ;-))

don't know ... maybe try the SCSI capable SANE backends ... with very much
luck you end up with a working scanner ... or just wasted time
