I have heard there is a package called "Scannery", vendor unknown to
me, that lets you use HP flatbed scanners.

sorry, my mailer doesn't have a clue how to get to cs.yorku.edu...

I'm also shopping for a scanner, so i'm interested in hearing what you 
find out.

Here's what i know:  I have seen two hand scanners available for the Amiga,
one is from Migraph, the other from Golden Image.  Both come with Migraph's
"Touch Up" software (i have no idea how good it is).  I've been told that
the Migraph outputs grayscale or single-bitplane files.  Both have
switchable scan resolution (75-400 dpi, if i remember right).

There are also some color scanners from Sharp that you can get with ASDG
software (which i have seen work, and i wish i could afford one of these
packages).
