- Parallel port. ASDG's driver comes with the proper cable. Mine is
- hooked to my 2500 thru a 4-way parallel port a/b/c/d switchbox
- and has been for well over a year and I've had NO problems. No IEEE card
- needed. Just ADPro, the scanner, the driver and the cable that comes with.

- The ES300C has no facilities to scan negatives or slides. Epson is
- releasing a couple new models that do, though. I don't have any
- details on them except that they're supposed to be shown at COMDEX
- in Las Vegas this month in Epson's booth.

-
- Yes. ASDG's ADPro Epson Scanner driver does it all. The scanner has
- a couple buttons on it but you never need to touch them. The software
- is extremely intuitive and a joy to use (IMHO).

- Yes, it does.
