It occurred to me that this whole boring debate about parallel-port<br>
|
|
scanners and the lack of support may soon disappear as a result of USB<br>
|
|
picking up in popularity. Maybe we should focus on USB support? It<br>
|
|
seems to me that parallel port scanners don't work well even if they<br>
|
|
are supported. The reason for this is that parallel port scanners<br>
|
|
tend to waste all available CPU cycles on the scanner, effectively<br>
|
|
turning your nice & fast multi-user, multi-tasking machine into a<br>
|
|
crummy single-task machine. AFAIK, USB doesn't have any of these<br>
|
|
problems yet is much cheaper than a SCSI interface.<br>
