The problems is, as I have understood it, that the kernel recognised the
onscsi parport adapter (which is inside the scanner), but it doesn't
find any devices on the adapter (where the scanner should be on id 6).
I have no commands named sgcheck og find-scanner.

I don't think this is a sane question. It is a problem with the onscsi
driver, that doesn't find the device, even though they are both in the
same physical box.
I might add that the scanner wasn't marketed under the name MRS-600v3.
It is label by the store where I bought it, but the manufactor and model
name appears on the back of the scanner. I am quite sure it is
identical to some Microtek parport scanner, but I don't know which.
