But should not stop you from using the scanner - Download BetaScan
from the aminet & use a driver out of the package or use some other
scan program. Kilian's right about the Parallel port. Parallel scanners
require an 'enhanced' parallel port so an IOBlix or some other Expansion that
have such a parallel port will do (AMiGA dealers tend to bundle capable cards with
Parallel Scanners like Eyetech was bundling a Scanner with an Expansion card
in the old AMiGA format magazine.
