+      IEEE-1394 seems to be supported with the microtek2 backend. More reports

+The Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL scanner is currently listed
+as unsupported in your database, but I have been
+able to use it partially. It works if I use the
+following environment
+2.6.8 kernel
+ieee1394 bus
+sbp2 module (tunnels scsi through firewire)
+sg module (scsi generic)
+microtek2 backend
+
+With this setup, I can successfully scan, but
+have not tested it extensively. One thing 
+that does not work is the preview function 
+in xsane.

+
+I tried to make it work with a 2.4.27 kernel,
+but ran into the problem that the sbp2,sg module
+combination was not correctly reporting the
+hardware to proc. /proc/scsi/scsi would correctly
+show that there was a device there, but would not
+report it as a ScanMaker 9800XL but would instead
+just have some none ascii characters in the
+vendor and model fields.
