Opps! I forgot to include the manufacturer of the<br>
scanner. It's UMAX. So the full name is UMAX Astra<br>
1220S.<br>

<i>&gt; DON'T BUY Mustek 1200 SP.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I bought one myself several months ago when it was</i><br>
<i>&gt; on</i><br>
<i>&gt; sale in a store. The price was very attractive U$75</i><br>
<i>&gt; for SCSI and legal paper size. But all I could get</i><br>
<i>&gt; from it was black and white. The color never worked.</i><br>
<i>&gt; (And I am talking about on M$-Win95 not the more</i><br>
<i>&gt; powerful OS like LINUX.) I spent 2 days on trying</i><br>
<i>&gt; out</i><br>
<i>&gt; everything. (I forgot how many times I</i><br>
<i>&gt; intalled/uninstalled the apps, the drivers, reboot</i><br>
<i>&gt; the</i><br>
<i>&gt; PC, unpluged/repluged the scanner. I even</i><br>
<i>&gt; uninstalled</i><br>
<i>&gt; many other apps.) I almost wanted to uninstalled the</i><br>
<i>&gt; OS. Then I tried their website. I called their tech</i><br>
<i>&gt; support, who was extremely useless. He just</i><br>
<i>&gt; basically</i><br>
<i>&gt; asked me to do the same things I did before I called</i><br>
<i>&gt; and we spent over an hour on doing that. Don't</i><br>
<i>&gt; mention</i><br>
<i>&gt; that the phone call is a toll call. Finally I gave</i><br>
<i>&gt; up</i><br>
<i>&gt; and return the scanner to the store.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; After I did some research and found out that Astra</i><br>
<i>&gt; 1220S was the most reliable and affordable (around</i><br>
<i>&gt; U$140) SCSI scanner in the market. The most</i><br>
<i>&gt; important</i><br>
<i>&gt; thing is it is well supported by Linux.</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Hi Allan!</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; I'm looking for a cheap SCSI scanner for use</i><br>
<i>&gt; with</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Linux, hopefully one</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; which costs less than about 120 UK pounds. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; don't</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; know what that</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; would be in other currencies, but if it's any</i><br>
<i>&gt; help</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; for comparison,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; here are a couple of the models I've been</i><br>
<i>&gt; looking</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; at:</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Mustek 1200SP Pro SCSI 70 pounds</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Acer 620S 105 pounds</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; What a chance, im quit new in this mailing list</i><br>
<i>&gt; and</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I subsribed because I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; bought a very cheap Mustek MFS-1200SP Pro. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; unfortunately don<6F>t get it to</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; work on Linux so as on Win95 yet.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; I'm particularly curious about the Mustek</i><br>
<i>&gt; 1200SP,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; since I can't find</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; any mention of it on Mustek's website, or</i><br>
<i>&gt; anywhere</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; else for that</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; matter, and so I have no idea what resolutions</i><br>
<i>&gt; it</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; can do, colour</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; depth, etc. </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; It could be that the Mustek scanner you mean is a</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Paragon 1200 Pro. You</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; can find a discription under www.mustek.de. Don<6F>t</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; worry, the language of</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the web site is english. Anyway, your story looks</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; very similar like my. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; bought the Scanner as a "rest choice" (sorry</i><br>
<i>&gt; aubout</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; my english) for a</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; price very closed to 70 pounds.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I just contacted the Mustek Support about my Win95</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; problems. If I<>ll get</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; back some interesting news, I<>ll let you know, but</i><br>
<i>&gt; I</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; think that your</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; decision would not be for the Mustek one now.</i><br>
