    In a german magazin (PC Magazin) is a scanner-test witch said that a
    microtek (X12USL?!?) is the fasterst thing you can buy up to 1000,-DM. Is it
    only a backend problem ??

    I thougt (i think this word is wrong, i mean "think" in the past) Umax are
    slow? Can anybody else tell my somethink about an HP??

    Yes, sure! I want to setup a privat scann-server and my "do everything
    Server" is a SCSI-system.
