  I have something like a Mustek handheld GC-6000 scanner. (I hope I remember
  that right!)
  I have not been able to use it at all lately because I don't use windows.
  I might install windows on one of the old pieces of crap (retired computers)
  in my room if I get Desperate.
  That thing uses a stupid little card too.
  I have to wonder what card based Mustek scanners might be able to use this
  solution.
