1. Reinstall linux, putting the boot stuff on the win95 hard drive. Change this drive to the master. 2. All the rest of linux goes on its own hard drive which becomes the slave. So, tell me somebody, will this work? I will do it when I get a copy of Linux Mandrake 6.0. adios, STeve W

Thanks for the sugestion about the SANE website. I downloaded SANE however, after configuring it ( I guess I did not do it right) it does not work. Does any body know the steps to follow? I tried both ways: SANE 1.01 rpm and the tar version. My scanner is a Mustek 600 CP (parallel).
