    I got the same scanner and was able to get it working after making my
    idescsi and ppscsi both modules. There is reportedly a conflict between
    idescsi and onscsi. I haven't tried loading both at the same time yet,
    too busy catching up on my scanning backlog. I plan on writing a simple
    shell script to unload the onscsi and ppscsi then loading the idescsi when
    I want to switch between writing CD's and scanning pictures.
