Hi folks, I'm looking to replace an old scanner which died. It has a white light and colour scanning element and worked well enough for me to scan in negatives and slides without any special addons etc. I've been through the list at www.sane-project.org to see what might be my best low cost replacement since I'd very much like it to work with FreeBSD to reduce my depandacny on Windows, but after spending a great deal of time searching I'm find it almost impossible to identify which scanners use a white light and not that horrible RGB flashing LED thing (which I have experience of and is not suitable for transparencies. Price *is* an object, so I'm hoping some of you people may be able to suggest a suitable FreeBSD/Sane compatible scanner for me which is low in cost. Note that I'm in the UK and am prepared to search ebay.co.uk etc for second hand units. Thanks Dave -- Any speling misteaks are the reult of a bad insallation of mod_spelink.
