- Whaddya mean the size? Ya mean in pixels? ADPro's Epson ES300C
- driver (which I just ran in the background) tells me such a scan,
- assuming I had the memory to do it, would be
- 5104 x 6600 pixels.

- ADPro would want 134,755,800 bytes of RAM for 24 bit color,
- 67,372,800 bytes for 8 bit gray, and 33,686,400 bytes for
- 1 bit monochrome. For something like this you would probably
- want to use a virtual memory add-on like Gigamem, assuming you
- had enough drive space to handle it. Or use the Scan-to-Disk
- version of the driver software.

- Neither program is on the market yet. I doubt anyone could tell
- you at this point in time, except Beta testers of them.

- A lot. Again, virtual memory would be the answer here unless you
- have a relative in the RAM chip industry. :)
