Currently use OS/2 Warp having upgraded from 2.1.  I am intending to buy
a flat bed scanner for text and some graphics work.  Would much prefer
to operate in OS/2 - currently do _not_ have any windows except Win-OS2
Preferred scanner would be HP 4c but price is a consideration and am currently
favouring a Epson GT8500.  Mustek and Trust would be alternatives if they
were not too slow.  I have more investigation to do before buying.  The
availability of Twain support in OS/2 would be a _major_ factor when deciding
which to buy.

I do not understand why manufacturers refuse to support third parties like
yourselves.  If they won't supply their own drivers it makes no sense.
