I don't want to join this ! I have 3 pass Scanner and this piece should be
faster than 1 pass scanners ? Also I made different experiences under win95
and twain. Sane (not the fastest scanning program under linux) is twice as fast
as the twain driver. But I must say scanning with sane gets real fun after
upgrading to 64 MB RAM ;-).
Something different: Can somebody with a mustek 3-pass Scanner confirm or deny
the problem with the "custom gamma table" option ? With this option selected
the system freezes after starting the scan :-(.
