I did not know that LEO had such a long history. BTW, this doesn't seem to
be the same LEO. This one is based in Taiwan and this one is represented
globally by FIC international. The scanners are somewhat similar in
appearance to the Scanmaker III (mustek/microtek ?), sleek and small.

You are right, there may not be much support from LEO (or not really
interested in giving support ?).
