I don't tihnk you realise the enormity of what you are asking. We are talking about well over 50 different devices (many of which are owned by people's whose time is very expensive) some of which are very big and very heavy. I happen to know that support for autosupending usb mass storage devices isn't in place so unless something has changed it is futile for me to go around testing such devices unless something has changed...

I actually tested an AGFA snapscan (an extremely "difficult" scanner on Windows and OSX) on a Gutsy LiveCD yesterday (I can't remember if it was 1212u - I won't be able to check until Monday). It worked out of the box but then went on to make xsane generate an I/O error message. However, this did not seem to be related to autosupending. Unplugging and re-plugging in the scanner into the USB port seemed to make the problem go away for good which is why I didn't mention anything here.
