Perry Kivolowitz, PLEASE READ THIS!

Sorry to be posting it public, but I've lost your address.

   I recently finished reading an article on flatbed color scanners in
MacWorld magazine ("Affordable Color Scanning, June '91, p130).  It
describes both the LaCie Silverscanner and the Epson America ES-300C (which
there is a module for ADPro available).

   The article goes on to say that the LaCie is made by Epson, and that it
is the "same basic unit," but that Epson charges close to $400 for a SCSI
interface which LaCie throws in.  My question is: do you know if they're
compatible enough to allow ADPro to control the LaCie???

   $1995 for a 24bit scanner that does 600x300 isn't bad at all!  Not to
mention that LaCie throws in Aldus Preprint and Photoshop LE...I can
sell'em
to some local Macfolk for enough to buy the ES-300C driver from you guys :)

   Thanks,

Sean

PS> It sure is a shame that you've got to read one of the "enemy's" rags to
    get information on certain products...don't 'ya think?
