Well I went and patched my kernel with ppscsi and am using the onscsi
protocol driver with it, that seems to work just fine, my scanner is
detected at boot! Progress! I compiled sane and it said no scanners were
available, so I set SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=30 and checked for my Model Code
and added that into the microtek2 source, recompiled and it and tried to
run xscanimage. It seems to detect my scanner just fine, but it segfaults
at the end, heres the output:

Any help would be great in getting this to actually work :)
Oh, one more note, scanimage, xscanimage and xsane all do this, and
scanimage and xscanimage also segfaulted right after it said no
devices before I modified the microtek2 source with my own model code.
