[dba-Tech] Scaners

Bryan,
My favorite scanner I've ever sold, setup or supported (and that's quite a
few over the years) was the Epson Perfection 610 Flatbed Scanner. I liked it
so much I got my mom one. That was 5 years ago and its still SWEET!

I have no idea if you can still get one or not and then if would work with
Linux is a big question too.

larger format negatives I was interested in scanning.

Thanks for this info Bob.
