I tried to mail but couldn't reach you. Please excuse the noise,
fellow netters...

I have a used Thunderscan for $100.  Works good, older unit, but I
scanned Iraq map with it last night.  Works fine under 6.05 and
Multi-Finder, though I'd hesitate to try much in background under MF
while scanning.

Probably has older, less capable version of the image processing S/W,
but I can't compare.  It will set contrast and brightness nicely, but
other editing is pretty weak.  I just use SuperPaint for touchup.

I think it has all the original stuff with it, minus a couple of roller
strips for the ImageWriter platen (I don't use them anyway; don't really
need them, and alignment is touchy), and the document holder pocket (to
put small items in for scanning.  It's supposed to be like a non-glossy
VueGraph or overhead slide holder.)  Manuals and original disc are
definitely there.  All this stuff is at home, so I'm working from
memory.
