	The Conquest SPX-210 looks interesting and is an approach that
might be kludged for other scanners.

	I have read a description of the JIL SX-400 as "computer
controllable", and indeed they sell an interface for an NEC PC. I
called them up and asked for interface specs for the scanner itself
so that I could control it with a different PC. The response was:
"Do you work for the government? If not, we can't give you the
specifications. We have no maintenance manual - the product is
proprietary".

	Sigh...
