  Dr. Falk
  I thought I would jump on this thread to share my Mustek experience.......
  I own a Mustek Paragon 1200 LS 8.5"x14" scan area............SCSI
  I used the scanner successfully with Caldera 2.3 and SuSE 6.2.......with SANE
  1.01-2...
  Also works with Win 95/98 ..But not as Advertised with Win 3.1 and Win NT
  4.0....
  The install fails in in Win NT 4 with SP 3 or 5 or 6.x
  Does not work with SANE OS/2 1.01 as the dated ASPI filter does not connect
  ....
  I scanned gray scale color and Photo.... Repectable speeds
  I just followed the SANE Read me and used generic Mustek..
  The scanner comes with its own SCSI (Hybrid ) card ... Throw it away if you
  have
  another SCSI Card..........It is a source of frustration....
  If you use your own SCSI card Disable termination .. ( If the card also runs
  a Hard drive)
  If your SCSI card only runs the external Scanner Enable termination....

  Oh! I found it for $89.00 US New at a Close Out.... : )
  Hope the helps!!!
