Hi Peter, Hi everybody.
Thanks for the continued advice. I have decided upon a Umax 2200 which is a
current model except that Umax here in Spain is virtually non existent.
There is a dealer in Barcelona but my dealer here in Madrid can't contact
them. Neither can I. As far as I have been told by dealers here in Spain,
Umax will not work with Linux since their driver is at least one month away
from completion (sic and at the same time very interesting news). If I
mention SANE they look blank and try to sell me an Agfa USB from a food
supermarket. E-mail to Umax Germany and UK so far have brought a zero
response. Has anyone ever tried mail order for a scanner? I should have
thought it impossible due to the delicacy of the scanners.
Any help for a mail order outlet for a 2200 that can supply the goods
(maybe even a Adaptec card to go with it?) greatly appreciated.
Steve & Clara at FeF, Spain.
