I think OS/2 is my best bet right now. The Sparcstation I have won't run
any version of Solaris above the 2.4 it's got on it now. This makes
getting binaries difficult.

There is a freeware scanning system for OS/2 in addition to some
commercial packages. I'm in the middle of making the Unix port of CDRECORD
working with my Atapi drive under Warp. Once that is done I'll get the
scanner going.

This one does legal-sized sheets which should make scanning certain docs
easier than with my wife's USB scanner.

Thanks for the info!
