Well, all my experience with sane and NetBSD is rather old. I wrote
a backend SCSI driver for the scanner I had some (>3) years ago. Sane and
xsane worked just fine back then both on NetBSD i386 and alpha (with
SCSI scanners as that was the only thing supported at the time). This
was then with sane version 0.7x. Sane probably changed quite a lot
since then, and maybe not all for the better for NetBSD? It may be
worth trying an older sane version (as opposed to older NetBSD
kernel)?

Feico.
