Pascal,

I've been following the SANE listserv for a while, looking for any information on who manufactures
the Acer Prism 310S. When findscanner is run, it finds a rather generic idenfication for the
scanner IE: Color Scanner

My Adaptec SCSI card reflects the same response ID as the findscanner. I've been told that
the Prism "Could be " a rebadged Black Widow, or Artec, or etc .. etc .. etc.

All I know is that under Win 3.1, actually WinOS2, it uses the Mirascan driver.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Why do I use OS/2 ??
Because I like choice !!
