Hi Donald,
I purchased an Astra 1200s about a month ago, and
beyond the few initial little problems (Mostly due to
my lack of experience with Linux) that I had getting
Sane up and running It works great. The scanner is
connected to my Adaptec 2940u which also has my 2
main Linux hard drives and a zip drive on the same
SCSI bus. Besides the fact that activity on the bus
might stop for a second or two it hasn't crashed once
(the bus delay when scanning also happens on 95 + NT).
The quality is good and I have scanned some fairly
hefty images without any problems.

-Jeremy
