Well, for sometime now I've been lusting after HSD's color scanner, but haven't been able to find the $2K to buy it. Most Mac scanners, even the ones that are supposedly better than the HSD one (the HP and the UMAX come to mind) were in the $1400 range. After going to Seybold and playing with Appsoft Image, I know that I really want to get a scanner. Microtek just announced a new low cost color scanner (600 dpi, three pass, kind-a-slow) for under $1K! In this week's MacWeek there is an add from "Hardware That Fits" that advertises the new MicroTek Scanmaker II Scanner for only $949! Does anyone know of a driver for this scanner on the NeXT? Barring that, does anyone know if Appsoft Image will be able to directly control a scanner, ala PhotoShop's drop in filters for scanners? This would really open up third party scanners to the NeXT. Of course I forgot to ask anyone from Appsoft at Seybold... -- --> Michael B.
