Hello Linux folks! I want to use color flat bed SCSI scanner with my Linux box. When I looked into Linux hardware database I found that UMAX SCSI scanners are pretty much supported in Linux (SANE umax). Since there are not all UMAX SCSI scanners listed in this database and most of them are discontinued items I got a question: Can I use with Linux a new Umax Astra 2200 SCSI-2/USB flatbed scanner? Will it work with my Adaptec AIC-3860 and AIC-7890 onboard SCSI controllers? May be somebody can share its own experience about using scanner with Linux? What kind of scanner (brand name and model) would you advise me to buy for Linux box? I mean to scan reliably without head aches. All suggestions are gladly appreciated.
I would go with a Umax too. They *are* very good scanners, but not sure about Linux compatibility (i.e. I haven't looked into Linux compatibility). The Astra 1220 is a very good model. I'm not sure if you'll notice huge amounts of difference between it and the 2200.
