I have had just about identical success with a Microtek E6 scanner and
Impos/2.  I would comment that the Micotek supplied Windows software
is *much* more flakey and unreliable than Impos/2 is with this
scanner.  For example Impos/2 works fine with just about any SCSI card
but the Microtek software is very picky, works with some but not with
others.
