If the scanner uses the scsi command set it probably doesn't
have to have a scsi interface per say. For example atapi drives
use the scsi commands, but go on an ide interface. You have to
have scsi compiled into the kernel, but do not need the driver
for a scsi adapter.

I found that I don't have as wide a choice of AT boards, especially if I want to
stick to AMD's "recommended" list (I want a Duron). A new case isn't too

Actually, if scans are large, using 256 meg might be preferable.
Besides, at $100 or less for each 128 meg, it's not a really
big expense.
Also, NT/2000 handle memory better than 95/98/ME. They might be
better OS choices as memory thrashing would be eliminated or more
greatly reduced. They're

It's actualy worse than that while windows 95 will
handle 512, preformance for most applications suffers
when you use anything over 64. Windows 98/ME will
give preformance gains, in general
