It would appear that there ARE people who want Vintage Generic PC Crap. Except for the scanners.
The scanners shouldn't have to be regarded as (Vintage) Generic PC Crap. For example, I wrote a hack for the (possibly un-aptly named) SANE scanner software to let it drive a SCSI scanner from VAX/VMS... (I wouldn't mind having another SCSI scanner to play with if it wasn't on the wrong side of the Atlantic.) Regards, Peter Coghlan.
