DON'T BUY Mustek 1200 SP.<br>
<p>
I bought one myself several months ago when it was on<br>
sale in a store. The price was very attractive U$75<br>
for SCSI and legal paper size. But all I could get<br>
from it was black and white. The color never worked.<br>
(And I am talking about on M$-Win95 not the more<br>
powerful OS like LINUX.) I spent 2 days on trying out<br>
everything. (I forgot how many times I<br>
intalled/uninstalled the apps, the drivers, reboot the<br>
PC, unpluged/repluged the scanner. I even uninstalled<br>
many other apps.) I almost wanted to uninstalled the<br>
OS. Then I tried their website. I called their tech<br>
support, who was extremely useless. He just basically<br>
asked me to do the same things I did before I called<br>
and we spent over an hour on doing that. Don't mention<br>
that the phone call is a toll call. Finally I gave up<br>
and return the scanner to the store.<br>
<p>
After I did some research and found out that Astra<br>
1220S was the most reliable and affordable (around<br>
U$140) SCSI scanner in the market. The most important<br>
thing is it is well supported by Linux.<br>

<i>&gt; Hi Allan!</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I'm looking for a cheap SCSI scanner for use with</i><br>
<i>&gt; Linux, hopefully one</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; which costs less than about 120 UK pounds. I don't</i><br>
<i>&gt; know what that</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; would be in other currencies, but if it's any help</i><br>
<i>&gt; for comparison,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; here are a couple of the models I've been looking</i><br>
<i>&gt; at:</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Mustek 1200SP Pro SCSI 70 pounds</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Acer 620S 105 pounds</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; What a chance, im quit new in this mailing list and</i><br>
<i>&gt; I subsribed because I</i><br>
<i>&gt; bought a very cheap Mustek MFS-1200SP Pro. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; unfortunately don<6F>t get it to</i><br>
<i>&gt; work on Linux so as on Win95 yet.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I'm particularly curious about the Mustek 1200SP,</i><br>
<i>&gt; since I can't find</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; any mention of it on Mustek's website, or anywhere</i><br>
<i>&gt; else for that</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; matter, and so I have no idea what resolutions it</i><br>
<i>&gt; can do, colour</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; depth, etc. </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; It could be that the Mustek scanner you mean is a</i><br>
<i>&gt; Paragon 1200 Pro. You</i><br>
<i>&gt; can find a discription under www.mustek.de. Don<6F>t</i><br>
<i>&gt; worry, the language of</i><br>
<i>&gt; the web site is english. Anyway, your story looks</i><br>
<i>&gt; very similar like my. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; bought the Scanner as a "rest choice" (sorry aubout</i><br>
<i>&gt; my english) for a</i><br>
<i>&gt; price very closed to 70 pounds.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I just contacted the Mustek Support about my Win95</i><br>
<i>&gt; problems. If I<>ll get</i><br>
<i>&gt; back some interesting news, I<>ll let you know, but I</i><br>
<i>&gt; think that your</i><br>
<i>&gt; decision would not be for the Mustek one now.</i><br>
