Re: OT:Scanner

All I know is what I read on the page that has all the info about USB and
what it's about. And from " DELL " themselves, is the word that a USB 2.0
scanner will need a pci card in the machine. As the only other clone I have
that runs has NO usb and only has Windows 3.1! ( got it out of the trash bin
last week ), there's no way for me to do any other testing.

Plus after what I found earlyer tonight, I may have to put this on the back
burner, one of my cats is going to use up some money.
