Hello everybody,
Yes, this question would come from me too ! ;-)

Currently I own a very old Canon Canoscan 600 with SCSi interface.
Does one of you have some, hopefully good, experience with this model ?

If yes, I would like to hear about ...
... and of not: I have to decide a change to, looks like, a newer LIDE
too !? ;-))

TIA for your help and hints.
Cheers, svobi
