I believe the howto on the umax scanner code for linux says you should get a standard scsi card.
The cheap card with the unit is probably not supported. But you never know, so it can't hurt to ask.
I use BT950's mostly. I've got the same scanner at home, have been using it command line mode for nearly a year now. It has probably upgraded: I did a simple hack to mine to add the device name to a table it contains. If you don't do that you have to use an extra command line switch to force umax-cli to recognize it. I'll bet the latest version handles this. I've not tried because I don't want to fix what ain't broken and I used the scanner constantly for work.
Haven't tried the latest version of SANE with it yet though. There used to be some lockup problems, but perhaps those have been sorted... it has been near a year since I tried it.
