Okay Jordan, closer inspection of the conf file has this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The vendor and model string
# This string is displayed by the frontends. The Umax AstraSlim SE
# has a different product id, therefore we can overwrite the vendor and
model
# string here.

option vendorString "Memorex"
option modelString "MEM 48U"

#
# device-name
#
# If autodetection does not work, then you can specify the device here
# The device entry must be the last one in this config file (or the last one
before a
# new usb entry).

#If you are using libusb, a device looks like this:
#device libusb:001:002

#If you are using the scanner module (kernel driver), a device looks like
this:
#device /dev/usbscanner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given your posting:

"Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05d8:4005 Ultima Electronics Corp."

Try uncommenting and adjusting this line:

device libusb:002:003

It *should* work. :-)
