AVOID BLACK WIDOW. I bought one of these. I spoke to them and confirmed it worked under NT4 SP4. bottom line is it doesn't. Tech support is useless. Trunk call only. They don't answer faxes or letters. awright@netcomuk.co.uk wrote in message <36664851.5883@netcomuk.co.uk>... >Hi I am in the market for a budget scanner in the price range >of �100-�150 for my Time colossus machine.Most of the high street stores >like pc world,tempo and so on say epsom or canon seem the most popular >scanners.Any views,experiences on these machines or alternatively do you >recommended any other makes.

Oh dear, you have my sympathy. Why spend that much: a decent budget scanner can be had for half that. If you want to spend that much then the Agfa ones seem pretty decent, but I have an Artec AM12E which IIRC got better reviews (although it's slow) and can be picked up at a fair for under 50 quid. -- John G Ineson

I had trouble with a 9636 Hi-Res Scanner whn I changed to Windows 98 and the support was brilliant. They insisted it was not the scanner at fault and even swapped it out for a brand new replacement to prove a point. It turned out to be a software problem on my system causing the problem. As for faxes and letters, they answered mine OK and bunged in some free software too!

Don't listen to John, get a Umax, they're fast, the software doesn't look like it was designed for Win3.1 and best of all, they are very high quality. Michael
