I would like to get software drivers for the popular page scanners
for MSDOS on PC's.
I need to scan in the one-bit-per-pixel (black and white) mode.

If anyone knows how to get such drivers, I would appreciate it if you
would let me know.

I am writing an OCR software package for MSDOS.  You may be interested
to know that this package presently runs faster than the commercial 
products, handles a wider variety of type styles, and takes much less
memory.  It runs on any PC with 512K RAM and a hard disk.  It converts
2000 words per minute on a 25 MHZ 486 and maintains this speed even
with documents of poor quality.
