The last SCSI scanner that I could find for much less than $1000US was a UMAX 
Astra 2200, which I believe worked under Linux 9.1.   It was in the
$100 plus range when I bought it, and I don't know if it's still made.
That was
at least 3 years ago, and I bought it specifically to work in Linux.  It's
a pretty good scanner, altho I don't remember if I actually did use it under
Linux, since I don't use a scanner too often.  I seem to remember testing it,
tho.
