Dear experts, I would like to find a good microfilm scanner supported by Sane (I use Linux Mandriva). The one I have, an excellent Epson Perfection 4990, does a good job with photos , but only with strips (6 exposures). I know there are excellent microfilm scanners, as the Nikon Coolscan family, but they seem non supported by Sane. To be clear: the kind of microfilms I have to scan are the old kind of microfilms used by libraries e.g. for manuscripts and very old books. Now it's normal to send a CD with images, but many libraries still have this old kind of media.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated! guido, italy ------- Guido Milanese http://docenti.unicatt.it/milanese_guido http://www.arsantiqua.org
