<EM>&gt; &gt; Unfortunately I didn't get your mail before I went to the shop, and I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; got myself a 3400C. As I mentioned in my previous mail, USB scanners
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; aren't an option since I don't have a USB port on any machine here.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; How old is the machine, as not having a USB port is rather unusual for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; a machine purchase in the last four years. Even if it appears not
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to have USB ports, it may well have them on the motherboard, and all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; you need is a USB backplate to plug into the header on the motherboard
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and take a spare expansion slot up.
</EM><BR>
<P>The machine was bought in 1997 or 1998. I have not checked the motherboard,
<BR>
it's an Octek with the Intel 430TX chipset.
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;
<BR>
<EM>&gt; Failing that I would suggest either buying a PCI USB plug in card, getting
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; a cheap SCSI card and a SCSI scanner.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; You have checked the parallel port Sane/Linux scanner page? Performance is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; so crap with parallel scanners that I would avoid them like the plague.
</EM><BR>
<P>Well, unfortunately this info came a bit late. Having checked about 5-6
<BR>
stores, I only found one store which had a non-USB scanner in the price
<BR>
range I wanted (less than 200 euros). Unfortunately said scanner was out of
<BR>
stock. It's not very easy finding scanners for SANE here in Finland.
<BR>
<P><P>regards,
<BR>
Dominique
<BR>
PS: performance of the HP parallel port scanner is excellent compared to my
<BR>
old Scantak 2c &lt;grin&gt;
