Ed,
After looking and testing several flatbed scanners (Epson,
Microtek, Canon), I purchased a Canon FB 1200S SCSI scanner (probably
being phased out in favor of USB scanners. However, the quality of
the scans is high and the price is right ($99 with a rebate; was
about $400-500 originally).
I have VueScan which recognizes the Canon SCSI scanner, but
Prescan and Scan do not work.
Computer is Mac G3/300 minitower (beige). It would be nice
to have the VueScan available for this high quality scanner as well
as film scanners. I recently purchased VueScan, and used it for a
few test Nikon LS-30 scans, but I am waiting for the new Nikon and
Canon 4000 dpi film scanners.
Regards,
Bob
