Just wanted to thank all of you who took the time to give me your opinions
regarding my scanner purchase...
From what I've seen, I think I'll most likely go with the SCSI interface
since I've read that it gives improved speed as well as leaves my parallel
port with only 2 devices on it.
The responses here were too numerous to thank each individual but I did
want to send this and acknowledge everyone's help.
Thanks again!
