I really would like to know what (paper) scanners are compatible with Windows Vista. I'd asked you-know-where, but didn't get a useful response. And don't troll against Vista itself either. I'm not interested.
Or... What about a virtual machine along the lines of Virtual PC that supports USB? Then I could just install XP on it. ____________________  |

*bump* A scanner which works in Knoppix or Mac OS 9 would also suit my purposes instead if you know of one. Thanks. ____________________ |

How about changing the thread title to be a little more descriptive? A scanner for Vista would work, so would one compatible with Mac OS 9 or any Live CD bootable system.
That leaves me to one little question. Does Virtual PC support a physical parallel port? I know USB isn't fully in it, but what about parallel? If so, that's an easy and free solution letting me use my current scanner. ____________________ |

About time! I finally did make this work, by "buying" a new scanner (which also prints). The Wal-Mart self checkout forgot to charge me for it... 
It's cropped all wrong, but here's my test scan anyway: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/theclaw/04-12-200712.jpg Do whatever you want with the thread. ____________________ |
