That was the problem -- I already tried the ISA aic*, but didn't look
at the settings to carefully (IRQ 10, 0x140).

Perhaps the 1502 could be mentioned in the supported hardware list,
and the comment in the GENERIC kernel could be updated to add 150x and
1510?

Was anyone successful in scanning with such a controller? I have a
Microtek E3 attached to it, and tried using pkgsrc/graphics/sane with
/dev/ss0, but "scanimage -L" just hangs, doesn't even react to "kill
-9". I deleted all other scanners from /usr/X11R6/etc/sane.d/dll.conf,
still no luck.  Any hints?

Thanks,
 Thomas
