[PLUG] SCSI Scanner question

[Richard Seymour]

If I power on my SCSI scanner before I power on the computer, when linux 
comes up, the scanner is detected. If I leave the scanner off until 
after the SCSI card is detected, then the scanner isn't detected and not 
available later on.

I'm wondering if there's a way to disconnect one scanner, connect a 
different one, and have the second scanner get detected, without 
powering down the system? Or at least to detect the scanner without 
power cycling?

I'm running debian woody, kernel 2.4.something (in case it matters).
