Hi Folks,

 I just inherited an HP Scanjet IIc scsi scanner. Being the loyal and long-time
Amiga user that I am (A3000/25Mhz/27meg/Picasso/1.5gig + A500 BBS) I'd love to
use this monster on my Amy. Perusing the newsgroups I have found that ASDG made
a plug-in for AdPro that would allow you to access the scanner (there is also
'scan center' on aminet, but it's in german). Unfortunately, ASDG has turned
it's back on the Amiga, and I can't find the package. I went to Software Hut
in Pennsylvania and they suggested that I appeal to 'Kindly BBS Users' who
might be willing to /share/ the package with me.

 Now, I certainly don't condone piracy, and I'm not 100% sure that this is
piracy since the company no longer supports/sells/makes available this product
(okay, well, I'm pretty sure it is piracy but ... at least I made the effort
to buy it)... so if you've got it and would like to sell it I'd want to buy it.

 On the other hand, if it should just happen to show up in my email box...

     Any other kind advice regarding getting this scanner to work
   with the amiga (with the exception of using Photoshop on Shapeshifter, which
    cost waaay too much for it to be worth while to me (how much is photoshop?
    hundreds of bucks?) would be greatly appreciated. And hey, if you happen to be apart of ASDG and I'm somehow wrong about your no longer making this
product available please contact me too.

  thanks much
     Matt Bockol
