Might not be entirely what you're looking for, but when I borrowed a slide
photo-scanner, I also wasn't able to get it to work with Sane.
I did, however, manage to run the scanner from an MS windows onstall under
Virtualbox and passing the USB-slide scanner to that VM.
I actually got better speed that way then when running MS Windows natively.
(scan-speed, that is)
