since i require an inexpensive A3 scanner, i plan on purchasing one of these soon, i have not found any other options. Mustek appears to have a linux driver on their Taiwanese website, although i read reports here of it not working. if all else fails i will attempt to install Windows XP in a virtual machine and use the scanner through there, which was also a possible solution i read on this list. naturally i would want to help develop a working sane driver. i do not program but i have a degree in computer engineering so my background should be adequate enough to provide some help, given there is someone to provide me with suitable advice on how precisely to help. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAktSGkAACgkQXhfCJNu98qCDzACgsOSTiqqXlJz1FHPNlM5jvq6v m4UAmgKPLK9QnZou1oUry6vR6CFRJDg9 =B/c9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
