I secured a Perfection 1660 Photo for half the price of a brand-new 1670. (Except for the chipset inside, the 1660 and 1670 seem to be identical in every way.) Haven't quite gotten it working with FreeBSD and SANE but that's due more to a lack of time to figure out exactly why SANE can't see the scanner on the bus. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution - http://www.idealso.com
