    I can't help you with the Mustek, but I've been using and Advansys 3940UA
    with an Epson 1200S and a Ricoh CDRW with Mandrake-6.1 without any
    problems
    that I'm aware of. Advansys' own Linux drivers have been in the kernel
    tree for
    some years now, and seem to be actively maintained by Advansys.

    I got the Advansys card after sending back two defective Tekram DC315U
    cards.
    (The Tekram DC390F and other Tekram cards which use non-Tekram chipsets
    are said to work fine).

    John.
