Thanks to all who replied directly to me. David is going to lend me his Polaroid film scanner (a SprintScan 35 Plus). There's no xsane driver but a Vuescan driver does exist http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#supported
Vuescan is shareware and I've no experience with it but if it produces reasonable scans I'll be happy. It's US$40. -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
