As long as they act like the usually do, USB will not do any good for me,

I can say good-bye to the cheap USB scanner and get an expensive SCSI one
or just spend another 10 years thinking about it..

Heh.. :-) The price is the temptation - plus that nobody sells SCSI stuff
in this town - they will get you SCSI if you want, but then you have to buy
the thing before seeing it. :-I
