Not in the near future.
Never mind. I realized three things:
a) my 53c400 card must be initialized first by DOS driver to be detected by Linux kernel
b) The scanner initialization lasts about 4 minutes. And scanning is very slow even if I increase the kernel buffer to the max. as described in the SANE doc.
c) Using an adaptec SCSI adapter works just fine: scanner initializes immediately, card is recognized even without DOS and the scanning is much faster.

Ok I've not needed that for mine. Must be a variant init function is used on yours.

That sounds like a bug - takes about 9 seconds for me

Yes - I keep meaning to move mine to a real scsi controller
