While it's true that the scanner does scan in 36-bit data chunks it<br>
|
|||
|
|
samples 30-bits and sends it to the PC. I've been told that's because<br>
|
|||
|
|
Photoshop can't handle more than 30-bits. Would that help you as far as<br>
|
|||
|
|
what you are looking for with the SCSI hardware probe? <br>
