- If vertical expansion is allowed, you'll be able to get a PCMCIA card
- adaptor in form of a PCI or other slot card. These are available on PC's.
- A driver would be of concern, but it seems that they do eventually come
- out on the Amiga.

- My considered guess is that with the new standard ports (EIDE/EPP/115k
- serial, etc.) in the AmiVac that a number of previously unavailable
- hardware devices will get "driven". :)
-
- Speaking of drivers - has anyone ever written a TWAIN driver for those
- nice cheap color scanners out there for other platforms?
