Can you explain what a three pass scanner is?
I have six scsi scanners here, all of which all make one pass only.

Color scanner that needs one pass per color. Lots of fun if the scanned
photo/slide/etc moves during scan...

Thanks .I've never actually seen one of those, but then all my experience
was with A4/foolscap size. Wierdest thing encountered there was people
wanting maximum resolution (about 30mb worth) on aerial photographs
(8"x8") as time when 1.44mb floppies and 9600 baud inter office comms
reigened.

Sadly, I think all my scanners are now flaky and its time for replacement.

Yep, that is why I got paid as much as I did; best solution overall. not
the kludge first thought of. But you need to have all the info.
