They actually made some of the high-end models themselves. The rest came mainly from Microtek. > They got out of > digital cameras, too. Maybe in hindsight those were bad decisions. Not really. As far as scanners were concerned, they realized soon enough that they wouldn't stand a chance in a mass market. Just look at the mess Linotype-Hell-Heidelberg - or whatever they're calling themselves this month - have been in for years. The same goes for their digicam business. They hadn't made any cameras for decades and their ill-fated attempts at selling re-labelled Soligor SLRs and lenses had ruined whatever had been left of their reputation as a camera maker.
