Snicker.  Using:

[dave at waste ~]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HP       Model: C5110A           Rev: 3638
  Type:   Processor                        ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Got it at what was for all intents and purposes a yard sale about 10 years 
ago for $10.  Still works great using Xsane.  Kind of goofy to still 
populate a box with an Adaptec SCSI adapter just so I can hang a scanner 
off of it.

Cheers,
Dave
