Great scanner

 

I purchased my Astra 1200S about a year before scanner prices plunged, but I still have no regrets. After over 10 years of use, the unit still works flawlessly. The only shortcoming I found was the rather basic SCSI interface card that came with it, ...

Use of DB-25 interface ; 16-bit software

Good Scanner - Bad Software

 

I bought my scanner a couple of years ago so that I could scan all my pictures and put them up on a website that I have. I also wanted to be able to print pictures out, without having to go to the photo developing place and paying an arm and a leg...

It is there.

It doesn't work with Windows ME.

Easy as you get

 

I got this scanner about 5 years ago, and throughout that time, I have never had a problem (well, when I upgraded to Windows 98, I had to send for a free software upgrade, but that's very minor). So, the minuses are VERY few, but the plusses - well,...

solid construction, easy to use

a bit slow
