--  All money from selling these items is going to the DEC
--   <http://www.dec.org.uk/>
--  who are collecting money to aid the Indian Ocean Tsunami victims.
--  So feel free to give more than I've asked for.

All items are working/working when last used and have only been tested with a
PC (excepting the HP printer with has also been tested with a Macintosh).

o Scanner / Epson 1240U Perfection / USB connection, comes with transparency
  hood for 35mm slides/negatives

 ==> 25 pounds <==


o Scanner / Astra Umax 610S / SCSI
  NO PSU (*), NO SCSI cable (*)

  <http://www.umax.co.uk/support/drivers/currentdrvr.htm>
 ==> 5 pounds <==


o Printer (&) / Epson Stylus Photo 870 / USB and parallel connections,
  does not need PSU (but does need a power lead (*)), comes with roller (for
  continuous paper) and _expired_ ink cartridges (+).
  Colour inkjet, capable of photographic quality prints.
  My understanding is that Epson printers are cheaper to run because refilling
  their cartridges is easier as they do not include a built-in print head but
  are instead simple resevoirs.

 ==> 35 pounds <==


o Printer (&) / HP DeskJet 640C /  USB and parallel connections, has PSU,
  comes with _expired_ cartridges.
  Greyscale and colour inkjet, not photographic quality capable.

 ==> 10 pounds <==


o Printer (&) / Apollo P-1200 /  parallel connection, has PSU,
  comes without any cartridges.
  Greyscale or colour inkjet, not photographic quality capable.

  If you follow this link:
  <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.sys.apple2/browse_frm/thread/cbe931f56b7598e0/906a716ced77a524?q=apollo+P-1200+pcl+3&_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3Dapollo+P-1200+pcl+3%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&&d#906a716ced77a524>
  then you see that the printer is identical to a HP 420C but with a different
  casing:

 ==> Free <==

(&) I have one parallel cable, for connecting to a PC, which I will give to the
   first person collecting a printer.
(+) The cartridges may be able to be refilled or at least recycled.
(*) Note that these can be got but not for a few weeks so express and interest
   and I'll email you back when I have the missing parts
