This would cut my reasons for booting into Windows down to 2 ( Watch > DVD, no hardware decoder and Quake 3 still can't get my Voodoo 3 to work !! ) > :o) Note that just listing the scanner isn't enough. The USB driver "recognizes" everything, and provides hooks to access the USB device directly. This may not be sufficient for all purposes :-(. Does it recognize it as "uscanner0", or as "ugen0"? The sane (Scannes Are Now Easy) port is the recommended FreeBSD scanner package. The USB scanner driver lists the Mustek 1200CU, 600CU, 1200USB and 1200UB. I suspect those will all work with SANE. I'm quite happy with SANE and my (SCSI) scanner, though next time I'm going to buy USB. The GIMP even notices I've got the thing, and will acquire images from it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
