How does the MiGraph scanner connect to the AMiga? Serial port? Thanks.

Leslie The Migraph scanner connects to a SCSI port. -ash Kyfho

-> The Migraph scanner connects to a SCSI port. My GVP 030 Combo board will have a stroke if I add another external device <g>. Maybe I'll swap out the tape drive. Thanks. Do you have the OCR software? If so, how well does it work?

Leslie To the extent that I have used the OCR pgm, I like it. It is pretty good about reading magazines. At the moment I am using aGVP SCSI-2, and the pgm/board/scanner hangup from time to time. Some day I hope to get a SCSI device that is not run by black magik. You can get an ADPro loader for the scanner from Migraph.My only real complaint is that there is no Arexx port. -ash Kyfho

I ordered the MiGraph scanner but Safe Harbor tells me that it works with the parallel port. Plus, I don't see a loader for the MiGraph in ADPro. I have one set of additional loaders that gave me Targa, etc. but no MiGraph.

Leslie As far as I know Migraph scanners use SCSI and need an '020 or better. I got my ADPro loader later direct from Migraph. -ash Kyfho

Good. I'm looking foward to getting my scanner!

Excuse my ingnorance but waht is an ADPro loader? C. Davey

ADPro is one of the better image processing programs around, though Ben would say Imagemaster is better. ADPro has 3 basic functions loaders to move images into the pgm, operators to process the image, and savers to store the result. Note that the saver format need not be the same as the load format. -ash Kyfho

Thanks for the info. I need one. C. Davey

Leslie, LB>MiGraph scanner connect to the AMiga? Serial port? No. Mine connects to the parallel port. I ended up getting a Multiface Card III so as to not have to switch printer with scanner and back again. Later. Dickoux
