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.
