  Hello Perry.  I just purchased the Sharp JX 100 scanner and am very
impresssed with your software.  Everything looks terrific.  I have a question
though, actually two since you migh not have seen my other one on amiga.hdwe. 
First, in the scanner manual it states that the JX 100 can achieve resolution
up to 400 DPI but it's really a psuedo type of mode in that it is not really
400 DPI but somehow the software or firmware does somwething to get the
(seemingly) extra resolution. My question is:  Is this anything that you can
do in your Scanlab software to achieve these results, even 300 DPI would be
fine so that I can get 300 DPI output on the laser at full scanned size?  Are
you working on an update to the scanlab 100 software?  The secone question is
about your dual serial board.  I now need another serial port to hook up the
scanner to permanently.  I have seen yours for $299 and one from Checkpoint
Technologies for $199.  The question is:  Why is yours $100 more?  (actually a
couple of other questions also).  How easy is it adapt the software to use the
serial board?  WIll it go fast enough to keep up with the JX Scanner at 115K
BPS?  Thank you for any help you can give.
