I have written the umax-driver, and as far as I see the Astra 1200S
is a good choice. The umax-driver works fine with it and the scanner
is ok, I think (but I don't own one!).

You know that the scsi-card delivered with the scanner is not supported
by linux? I suggest you get a NCR/SymbiosLogic 8XX Card, that is
support fine! If you do so, use the NCR-BSD-8XX-Driver!

Bye
Oliver
