I'm looking for a scanner to use with Linux, but don't even know where to
start. My requirements are that it be:
1) Fast. This seems to mean I need to get a SCSI scanner. I already have
a good SCSI card which has 2 or 3 kinds of SCSI connectors on it.
2) Cheap, old, tried-and-true. Something from Ebay that will be cheap,
but very well supported and last forever. Think HP Laserjet 4 or IBM
Thinkpad 600E.
Quality and resolution are secondary. I want to use this to scan a lot of
old articles and maybe even a book or two very very quickly. The faster
per scan the better.
