Hello, Last week I was asking for an SCSI scanner working with FreeBSD. Thanks to the SCSI/Scannered/FreeBSDist who answered. This is a summary for the mailing list record/archives : Uwe Laverenz <uwe.laverenz@difi.de> says : >Many of the cheaper scanners seem to have a lousy SCSI interface. > >Yes, the 12000SP [Mustek scan Express] runs and is supported by Sane, but >it's SCSI interface is really bad. It worked for me with an additional Asus >SC-200 (Symbios 53c810): no termination, the scanner as the only device... > >If you buy one of the cheaper scanners, prepare to have an additional >SCSI controller at hand, if you don't want to use the cheap controller, >that's delivered with the scanner. Randall Hopper <aa8vb@ipass.net> says : >Don't own one of these[12000SP or Epson 1200S], but do own a Microtek E6. >Works very nicely with CAM and SANE, even as a GIMP plug-in. I use it for >scanning color prints and for photocopying (beats running to Kinkos). thomas@hentschel.net says : >I have a umax astra 1200S, which I'm pretty happy with. SANE needed >some work, though, to make it run at the time I installed it. This give me new questions : It seem that nobody use new Epson scanners ? Are the HP 6000 familly used by someone ? (someone rich :-) Are the Agfa SnapScan 1236s able now to scan more than 8bit/sample ?
