After being told by a few people that the Apple Scanner is, in fact,
of Cannon/Abaton/Everex (whew!) origin, I decided to go ahead and plug
it into my 040 Cube. 

During the Boot process, I got a large number of SCSI errors.
May 28 14:34:41 next mach: s0 (4,1): ERROR op:0x0 sd_state:4 scsi status:0x2
May 28 14:34:41 next mach: sc: MESSAGE REJECT RECEIVED
May 28 14:34:41 next mach: sc: MESSAGE REJECT RECEIVED

That repeated itself for each SCSI LUN (1-7).

Then, I ran SCSIInquirer, and it said that I have an Apple Scanner and told
me its serial number. 

Having no scanning software, this is where my tests ended. I did try to
access the Scan panel from Scene, but that caused the program to die. The
console message was simply something about Microtek Firmware Version x.x. 

I assume that message came from Scene, and not from the Apple Scanner.

If anyone has any other fun ideas to try, let me know. Until then, I'll keep
scanning/OCRing on the Mac and using the tried and true ftp!
