[TriLUG] Scanner recommendations

[Dave Schwartzburg]

I wasn't responding to your post.  I was responding to Jason Tower's.

I just wanted to make sure people didn't miss that the SCSI controller 
that comes with the scanner that Mr. Tower was talking about is ISA 
only.  Didn't want everyone to run out and spend $20 on a scanner and 
then realize that it only comes with an ISA SCSI card, and that they 
don't have any ISA slots...

And I did read your earlier post about the PCMCIA card, but I believe 
this whole thread was in response to someone else's request about a good 
scanner for linux, is it not?
