Larry, I just bought an Epson ES-600C scanner, and it came with TWAIN software – but apparently TWAIN only works on MSDOS machines. I've not yet been able to even try out the machine because I had to order a cable and drivers for the Amiga, and they have not yet arrived. The scanner can be used with either ImageMaster R/T or with AdPro. With AdPro you must buy an extra driver which retails at $200, but can be bought for less. I believe the latest version of Imagemaster R/T has the drivers included. These are for the parallel-port version, unless I'm mistaken. If they work on the SCSI version, then I think I shall send mine back for a replacement, because I believe I can use the SCSI version on my Toshiba notebook computer as well as on the Amiga. At least, I see nothing in the docs to indicate that it wouldn't work there. But I cannot get it to work through the Toshiba parallel port, even though it can be set to be bi-directional. —Betty
