I have something like a Mustek handheld GC-6000 scanner. (I hope I remember
that right!)
I have not been able to use it at all lately because I don't use windows.
I might install windows on one of the old pieces of crap (retired computers)
in my room if I get Desperate.
That thing uses a stupid little card too.
I have to wonder what card based Mustek scanners might be able to use this
solution.
