Thanks for your response Kazuya.  The USB I/F certainly is much easier
to handle than using SCSI.  Besides, my SCSI card is pretty much filled
with hard drives, a Jaz drive, and a flatbed scanner.

I hope that my ancient Pentium 266MHz PC (and my ancient American brain)
have enough strength remaining to allow me to use VueScan.  It certainly
has good recommendations.
