This may be a bit off topic, but in my transition to to X, and all the
SCSI board swapping around, I may have fried my Lino flatbed. I can't
say for sure, but it doesn't show up on the 2930's SCSI chain in X,
Classic, or 9. When it is powered on, all three front panel LEDs flash
rapidly in unison and then the scanner powers off.
I called MPG Systems, the company to whom Lino has fobbed off their
desktop scanner support, and, after describing the problem, I got a
response of "Sounds like it's broke." When I asked what the diagnostic
code the flashing LEDs indicated, I got "I dunno. We don't have that
information."
Anyway, for $95 minimum charge, plus shipping, plus parts, plus time, I
thought that a replacement might be wiser. I mean, this thing cost me
$3,700 brand new, but I bet a few hundred dollars would replace it with
a FireWire scanner. It's only 1,000ppi.
The thing is that I hardly use it. I have to do some occasional
reflective work, and every so often something needs to be OCR'd, but
the Imacon handles 95% of the workload.
QUESTION: Cheap, but good. What's a out there for a FireWire scanner?
I'm using SilverFast to run the Lino. I haven't check to see what is
involved in switching the software to another scanner.
Actually, used, but good would work too - just in case any of you have
something to unload.
