I think that's at least one compelling reason to try and make it work, for those of us in the market for a new scanner. :-) Let me put it another way - I think that if someone out there decided to make a really serious committment to trying to drive one of these little scanners, with the additional understanding that the driver be done in a reasonably elegant fashion and with some usermode support (at the very minimum, something to grab images in an established format like ppm or tiff would do), I think it would then be reasonable to assume that a new scanner of these dimensions might arrive in the post to expedite the process. On indefinate long-term loan, of course. :-) Jordan
