thought this was simplex, as is the fujitsu fi-60. perhaps you want something intended for business cards, though i dont know of any with sane support. look at http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2111p086id112741.htm i have been thinking of talking my boss into buying a CardScan Executive V8, and let me play with reverse engineering it. other makers/names include syscan/ambir and of course, most of the avision and fujitsu duplex machines can take cards. but what a waste of money... allan
