Should I by an microtek X6 scanner?

[Richard Black <rblack@cyberus.ca>]

HI all

I am thinking of buying a SCSI scanner and am considering the microtek
X6 (has nice features and is quite cheap).  Has anyone had any
experience with this scanner under LINUX (slink)?

In particular, what I want to check is that I should purchase the PC
(rather than the MAC) version and that I can plug it directly into my
SCSI port (my adapter is an Adaptec AHA2940).  Among other things, I am
worried that it could screw up my HD which is on the same controler
(even though the X6 is SCSI II).

On the software side, it appears that SANE and GIMP should do the trick,
so I am less worried about that.

thanks in advance for any help (or other suggestions)

Richard
