- Try information: 1-800-555-1212
- It does 24bit color at 600DPI.

- There is the Phovos 300C. I think it has the same specs as the Epson. There
- is an ADPro driver and special parallel cable for it.

- You mean scanners right? Yes it does with the proper module. The Sharp also
- requires an expansion board which provides a GPBIB(??) interface. I believe
- the Epson connects to the parallel port like the Phovos.

- >Do any flatbed scanners come with software for the Amiga?
-
- Just ADPro modules and stand alone programs which will scan to disk.

- Migraph OCR will work with any IFF or TIFF(I think) image. It must be scanned
- at 200 or 300DPI and it probably has to be B&W.
