I love the COLOR page scan.  It's the best value / quality combo.  It
has one problem of not grabing a small phote into it's feeder
sometimes, but that's it.  It also doesn't have long-name support.

It can scan bound materials because it actually DETACHES from it's
base and rolls along the book or magazine!

I've had one for a month now and am very happy with it. The unit splits from 
it's paper guides allowing it to be used as a conventional handscanner for
magazines, books and large drawings. With the added advantage that it drives
itself across the material being scanned at a constant speed using powered
rollers and this does seem to improve the scan quality compared with 
conventional hand scanners.

Correct, so quite why you posted this in a SCSI newsgroup I don't know!!
Anyway I prefer a parallel pot connection for this type of equipment. High 
speed data transfer isn't important and you can be certain that it will connect
to any machine you come across.
