Hello Oliver,<br>
<p>
thanks for your reply. You should know that I very much<br>
appreciate your work in the sane project. <br>
<p>
About the UMAX scanner. Since <br>
<p>
a) the scsi card that comes with it is not supported by Linux,<br>
and you have to buy a separate scsi card &gt;= $50. (No, <br>
most people here in the USA do NOT have an scsi card in<br>
contrast to Germany, where people seem to be crazy about<br>
them ... )<br>
<p>
and<br>
<p>
b) you need to by an new cable that will fit with it &gt;= $30<br>
( which incidentally is hard to find )<br>
<p>
The UMAX, while otherwise a great scanner ( it appears ) is a bad<br>
choice, you can get for the same price ~ $200 get an E6 with an<br>
Adaptec card that should work fine. <br>
<p>
It would really be great if you could mention such things on the<br>
Web page. It took me almost 2 weeks to prod this information out<br>
of you guys. By putting this information up on the web site,<br>
you would make it much easier for people to orient oneself.<br>
<p>
thanks,<br>
Bernd<br>
