I really like the Cannon scanner I'm using now, an N1220U which is nice-and-slim, takes up little room, and (like pretty much most of them) the quality is good. But I'm no scanner expert, so other opinions are welcome. An Agfa scanner from several years ago was also good, but died in less than a year and Agfa was not helpful; I no longer would consider an Agfa for that lone reason. It sounds to me like you should get a cheap USB hub ($15-$20), and connect the printer and Palm cables to that, the scanner directly to the USB card (the Palm connection will only be used infrequently, so it should go on the hub). ---Alex -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
