Mustek 1200 UB scanner

Dear All,

Today I downloaded the linux driver for Mustek 1200 UB scanner (This is a USB scanner) from

ftp://ftp.mustek.com.tw/pub/driver/1200UB/Linux/V1.0.3/1200ub.tar.gz

This package has a readme file (readme_English.txt).. In this file they have mentioned that

2. After the kernel upgrade, please mount the USB file system. You can login root, and type "mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb/." If you would like to mount the file system automatically, add "action "Mounting USB File System" mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb" to your etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

(end-quote)

When I tried to do the mount manually, I got the following error.

# mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb/
mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb/ does not exist

And, sure enough, I didn't have the usb directory under /proc/bus/. I tried to do

# pwd
/proc/bus
# mkdir usb
mkdir: cannot create directory `usb': No such file or directory

What am I supposed to do now? Does anyone have experience in making the Mustek 1200 UB scanner work under linux?

BTW, I am using RH 7.1 and

$ uname -a
Linux wobble 2.4.16 #4 Thu May 9 11:19:49 IST 2002 i686 unknown

Thank you for all your help.

Cheers,
anna
