I found this to be the case with my Umax SCSI flatbed and Minolta SCSI Scan
Multi until someone on one of the lists suggested that it might have
something to do with the order in which the devices were connected to the
SCSI card and the order in which SCSI ID# were assigned to the devices. I
changed the order and, lo & behold, both devices would install at the same
and remain available for use without rebooting with each switch.
Apparently, there is a flaw or bug in the Umax SCSI twain driver that
requires it to be loaded first before another SCSI scanner and assigned an
SCSI ID# lower than any other SCSI scanner; otherwise it will not install
while the other scanner is installed.

HI,.all!!
Kudos to Ed Hamrick for his latest vuescan release!! I now can operate both
my Scan Multi II and my Umax Astra 2400S at the same time (well, not
simultaneously, but they can both be on and usable at the same time.)!
For some reason, the TWAIN drivers for the two machines don't coexist well,
and I could only use one by turning off the other one and rebooting.
Since Vuescan isn't a TWAIN application, both units can be used alternately
without rebooting!!!
Thanx, Ed!!!!!!!
Guy Clark

No, Plustek scanners use their own unique commands.
