There's not been a lot of interest for the FireWire scanners. Though I do believe those scanners actually do SCSI over FireWire, but never checked that out. That'd be the most sensible thing to do. That can be verified pretty easily, if the scanner uses SCSI commands (or encapsulation) on its USB interface, you can bet the FireWire interface just does SCSI. I wish I had time to try that out when I had access to an A3 Epson scanner with USB & FireWire.
