IRIX release 3.2 includes a driver for a Sharp FX-450 color scanner
which has a GPIB interface. It also
drives a Ricoh IS11 grey-scale scanner which has a SCSI interface. "man
scanner" for details.

Due to a lack of time/resources to make it work correctly, the IS11 support was removed at the last moment before 3.2 shipped. IS11 and a color Ricoh SCSI scanner will be supported in a future release. Unfortunately, the man page didn't get updated to reflect this...
