I recently went through the ordeal of trying to get a scanner to work under
Linux. When I finally got the one I needed that would actually work(Umax
1200S, ~$128 at Fry's), the SCSI card that came with it wouldn't work
because of its very low quality, requiring me to buy a separate SCSI card,
which I couldn't afford to do, so I had to take the scanner back.

It looked pretty nice though, sitting on my desk... :)

The scanner should be a SCSI that is supported by SANE.

I would suggest one of the better Sony Mavica's. We had one at work and
it was real nice. Pictures are saved to a 2x speed internal floppy drive
in Jpeg format - very handy. Floppies are in a MicroSoft format so they
can be read on most anything. The camera's optics were pretty good to
with a 14 x optical zoom lens...
