OK, here's the scoop on the original Scanmaster, not some lame-o PC-attached 
crud...
8815 SCANMASTER I - WITHDRAWN
                            (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
                                   PURPOSE
o   For capturing and transmitting noncoded documents to an 4300, S/370,
    303X, or 308X system.
o   For capturing and transmitting noncoded documents directly to another 
Scanmaster I.
o   For printing noncoded documents.
o   For printing formatted text documents.
The Scanmaster I is an SNA/SDLC device designed for system-attached 
operation and terminal-to-terminal operation.  It attaches to 4300, S/370, 
303X, and 308X processors over switched or nonswitched communication 
facilities at speeds up to 9600 bps.  It will communicate directly with 
another remote Scanmaster I over a public switched telephone network or 
private switched or non-switched voice facilities at speeds up to 9600 bps.
I got that from the IBM sales manual... I'd love to have one too..
