Very weird. Looks like what's happening is that the scanner keeps resetting itself (every few seconds) and gets assigned a new USB device number.
I thought maybe the problem was I hadn't specified any firmware file, so I got that off the Windows install CD and modified snapscan.config to add it, but hasn't seemed to change behavior. Anybody have any thoughts?
