  Hi,

  Any recommendations for a scsi scanner that works with sane?
  I was able to get 1.0.2 to build on my FIC VA-503+ but of course
  I don't have a scanner connected to it yet! I couldn't get
  xsane 0.57 to build as it crapped out in one of the files with
  something about not being able to recognize a parameter in GIMP.

  I'll rebuild and copy down the exact error code but I want to get
  a scsi scanner. My machine(s) have Adaptec-2940UW cards or in the
  case of the PR-440FX Pentium Pro machine, an onboard AIC-7880.
  Is an HP 6350 worth it?

  Best regards,
  Kurt Savegnago
