Hi,

I'm looking into the possibility of buying a scanner to hook up to my Sun
workstation (Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.6). I'll probably be using the PINT
(Pint Is Not Twain) package since I'm not aware of any other freeware or
shareware scanner software for Unix, so I need to find SCSI scanners with
in-built TWAIN support that will work happily plugged into the SCSI bus on
Sun workstations.

Has anyone got any experience with this sort of thing?

I will be primarily needing it to scan printed documents, images, etc. but
I'd also like to be able to scan 35 mm colour slides and negatives. I don't
know if there are any scanners that can do both functions, so suggest away
for either type and I'll assess the advice to see what seem to be the best
recommendations.

Regards,

Craig.
