I have the DC25 camera, and it works with NT 4.0 altho only the "Easy"
Software is supported for NT ( at least it doesn't complain at install
time). Ihave installed the "Advanced" software on Windows 95 and then
copied everything to NT - most of it works.

Sure - anything may access the com port (unless it is in use by other
software).

There would be no sense at all to put a scsi interface into the camera -
the images are really small.

I don't know about TWAIN drivers, since I haven't used any software that
uses a TWAIN driver...

No.

I would rather think about the tiny images . 493 by 373 is not that big,
and the quality degrades quickly when you resize the images.

Hope this helps
