I bought this scanner 7-8 years ago at a garage sale for $30.00. It still works for me, although it doesn't work right out of a box. it needs firmware loading before it can be recognized by Linux. Here is what lsusb has to say about it:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04a5:2060 Acer Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ Corp.) Prisa 620U+/640U It works well with sane, right now on Ubuntu. Years ago it worked with both RedHat and Suse Linux without a hitch. Cheers!
