It seems that the Visigo A4 or Visigo Travelscan 464 is supported through SANE [1]. Have anyone any experience with this scanner? Does it work well, is reliable etc? Alternately, has anyone gotten the Visigo PS465 Simplex [2] (an updated version, I guess) to work on Linux? I'm also interested in any other light-weight, portable and sturdy scanners that would work in Linux. It's for scanning documents, so a resolution of about 300 dpi should be plenty. 1. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-AMBIR 2. http://www.ambir.com/product.asp?item=PS465-SS -- Regards, Kjell Andr?
