I've been playing with my friend's Plustek 900/9000 scanner. It has no
power anything, no brand on the case, and according to him costs 2500.
Less now I guess. I think it's a very common low-end scanner. Anyway it
works famously with Linux using the Plustek drivers, SANE 1.03 and xsane
0.65.

I haven't gotten the GIMP plugin working yet and I had to some some
Makefile-hacking (apparently my bleeding-edge Helix GNOME broke some of
the gui's) but xsane works, I can scan nicely (slowly..) it eats up ALL
the cpu though (800mhz p3). I believe if I enable EPP on the parallel port
things will be better..
