I did not know that LEO had such a long history. BTW, this doesn't seem to<br>
be the same LEO. This one is based in Taiwan and this one is represented<br>
globally by FIC international. The scanners are somewhat similar in<br>
appearance to the Scanmaker III (mustek/microtek ?), sleek and small.<br>
<p>
You are right, there may not be much support from LEO (or not really<br>
interested in giving support ?).<br>
