Bulltwang. SCSI for scanners was vaugely standardised. In My Experience, they tend to be much higher quality devices than the consumerised USB or Parallel scanners, they're faster, and are supported more universally. We've had a lot more crap filter through in the guise of parallel port and USB scanners (USB might be a standard, USB imaging is not). The only nightmare is that SCSI requires a bit of sense to set up, but once you do, they're wonderful devices.
