I have here an antique Microtek Scanmaker IIc. 300dpi, legal size, three
pass RGB, SCSI. It was a hand-me-down from someone's closet, so is missing
the screws that hold the top on. It works, and wasn't too hard to
configure. Right now it only scans in B&W, but I could probably resurrect
color with a few minutes' tinkering. I suspect any SCSI scanner that
doesn't include a "SCSI-like" card would do.
