Greg,
I used my trusty old HP ScanJet IIcx. It was made in 1994 and still
works like a charm, although the foam under the cover pad just failed
so I removed the cover and used a handy 1981 HP catalog as a
paperweight. These scanners turn up on ebay now and then for less
than the shipping charge. It's built like a tank, and is definitely
worth hanging on to!
I run the scanner with VueScan by Hamrick Software. It does an
excellent job of controlling the older SCSI scanners. I have an old
Adaptec SCSI to PCI interface card in a computer with a new
motherboard with 5-year-old technology.
