BTW, is lsusb known to be broken these days? I have a USB thumb drive
that works just fine, but "lsusb" doesn't show it, even while it's
mounted and I'm doing I/O to it! Indeed, lsusb doesn't

OK, I see you guys are taking nothing for granted ;-)
Yes, the scanner is turned on; when I plug it in the light comes on and the
carriage moves briefly back and forth to find the starting position. So the
CPU/firmware seems to work as well.
