Yeh, running a flatbed scanner off a parallel port is slowish. How slow, I
dunno - my watch doesn't go that slow. FWIW, we have a similar model Mustek
flatbed running off a USB port on a faster PC - it doesn't preview or scan
any faster.
The advantage is that I can piggyback my Epson printer off the scanner while
taking up only one port. Still have the SCSI card free for a future film
scanner (hopefully).
