Tom, most of the fujitsu scsi models are resonably well supported, and use very similar protocols to one another. fujitsu is also pretty good about giving out documents of the scanner internals. so, if you use one of theirs, its pretty easy to get them working, at least in a basic form.
many of the more advanced 'features' of high-end scanners of any brand actually turn out to be software based, so you might not be able to get those from sane easily. allan On Thu, 13 Oct 2005, Tom Miller wrote: > I have been posting this question for a while now and no one > on this list have shared their experiences.
