Hi!
<BR>
<P>I was hoping someone could recommend a good scanner for me.
<BR>
<P>Background:
<BR>
I have a UMAX Astra 610 or 620 scsi. It's okay, but getting this
<BR>
thing to work with my Adaptech 2940UW is next to impossible (I've
<BR>
done it before, but it's always a pain). That is, I can't even get
<BR>
my system to boot reliably, forget loading linux. In the past, it
<BR>
locked up my system often under Linux, less ofter under Win9x.
<BR>
<P>So I thought I'd get a USB scanner, since USB seems to be working
<BR>
well under Linux.
<BR>
<P>I'm looking for one that I can do transparency scanning with, as I
<BR>
am rather sick of having my carefully adjusted photos (I tend to
<BR>
take 3 or 5 of them, each with different f-stops, etc) all color
<BR>
corrected into mediocraty.
<BR>
<P>I'm not looking to print photos with my scans (yet), so I don't
<BR>
really need 2400dpi scanning, but more is better.
<BR>
<P>I have $200 I can spend on the scanner, but I may (or may not) go
<BR>
higher.
<BR>
<P>I was looking at the Epson Perfection 1240U photo and 1640SU photo
<BR>
based on the Epson sane driver page page.
<BR>
<P>What are other people's experience?
<BR>
<P>Thanks for your time. :-)
<BR>
<P>Ciao!
<BR>
<P><PRE>
