These jumpers you speak of merely set the SCSI ID. As mentioned above, this
does not effect the sg number. Perhaps because my scanner and my hard disks
are attached to different adapters. BTW I installed scsiinfo so that I could run
sgcheck: as I suspected, /dev/sg0 - /dev/sg3 are my 4 hard disks. Wouldn't
tampering with this setup be a little suicidal? I fear that I simply am not
going to be able to scan. Sane doesn't list a single Fujitsu among its approved
scanners.

The plot thickens: I have mknod on my machine, but not mkdev (I have 6.0). Do
you know what package mkdev is part of?
Thanks.
