    Is it possible to use a scanner with a laptop? (Mine is T1000SE)
    If not, what is the requirement, in terms of processing power,
    means of connection etc.?


You can if the scanner requires SCSI.  And I see right here in Infoworld,
4/15, p. 75, an add for MiniSCSI:  A pocket-sized device that plugs into
the parallel port.  $179.  From Trantor Systems, Ltd.  (415) 770-1400.

Note:  I'm not now an employee of Trantor, nor have ever been an employee
of Trantor, and shall never be an employee of Trantor, and otherwise
have nothing to do with Trantor.  I don't even know what a Trantor is,
and would probably pass one on the street without recognizing such.
