The NCR 810 controllers are indeed cheap yet as powerful as e.g. an AHA2940 (minus the missing on-board BIOS and EEPROM for configuration data). I've recently bought one for DEM 80 (~ USD 50). However, you should make sure first that your scanner properly disconnects from the bus. Some cheap scanners don't, and that's one of the reasons why the vendors ship them along with a separate adapter (which is meant to be used solely with that scanner then). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
