My UMAX SuperVISTA S-12 (6 years old now, amazing that the thing still works, let alone produces quality images) works fine with SANE (which *does* have a CLI interface!). It's supported through generic pass driver. God, does SCSI rock. This scanner too, can't believe I bought it originally for my Mac in 1995 and it still works... even on FreeBSD.. *mumble* *mutter* -- wca *croak* [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6t6bqF47idPgWcsURAsTkAJ98P8mIPTh/U+JUkmIdk2/X0k7M6wCePdoJ Ls7C0x2Xrpkb9v+iar/GYuw= =OvsP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
