Hi!
<BR>
<P><P>It is possible to get a Microtek 330CX to work under Linux. I had mine working
<BR>
for a couple of months at the beginning of the year. It is unfortunatley not
<BR>
worth the effort. I ended up buying a Mustek SE 12000SP, with which I am very
<BR>
happy. Just don't bother using the SCSI card it comes with. An Initio 9100UW
<BR>
does a very good job and is inexpensive. Back to the Phantom: There are still
<BR>
some issues in the driver that make the scans come out too dark, adn they are
<BR>
also generally reversed left for right and there are problems with the
<BR>
positioning of previews and scan areas in xsane/xscanimage. All of these
<BR>
problems are due to some work that needs to be done on the backend. It seems,
<BR>
though, that the maintainer has dropped out of sight. I haven't seen an
<BR>
announcement of a new version of the Microtek2 backend since January 2000. Bernd
<BR>
did answer a posting here a while back, but that was about all,
<BR>
<P>BTW: The difficulties that Riku mentioned with the Windows drivers is one of the
<BR>
reasons that Windows has been banned from my computer. The crashes and random
<BR>
&quot;Scanner doesn't want to play today&quot; crap just got on my nerves. In Berd's
<BR>
defense, I must say that although the Windows driver delivered better scans, the
<BR>
Microtek2 backend never crashed in all the time I was monkeying with it. If you
<BR>
want to lock up Windows, pull the power plug on your Phantom in the middle of a
<BR>
scan and watch Windows croak. The Microtek2 backend just times out and exits
<BR>
gracefully. I know this because I had a bad extension cord that caused a few
<BR>
problems:-)
