I can't remember what make it is, but it definetly isn't a ScanMan.
My friend is away for the weekend, but when he gets back, I'll find
out what make it is!!

There are definetly NOT any kind of dip switch, button, slider,
jumper, etc. on the board itself.  If there were, it would be simple!!

I forgot to mention that the scanner does actually work, but with ALL
IRQ settings in the software.  The only problem is, either the mouse
or modem won't work when the scanner's board is plugged in.
