</span>Yes after sending this email to the Sane mailing list, I checked other<br>
scanners and discovered as well that some had announced Linux support,<br>
which is nice.<br>
<br>
Rather than the A3F2400N though, the A3 1200 HS looks interesting by<br>
being faster, which I prefer to having buttons on the scanner, as long<br>
as this does not affect the scan quality (there is also a A3 2400 HS<br>
in their webshop, apparently so recently released that it is not even<br>
in the main website, but honestly I think 1200 dpi is more than<br>
enough). Now they don't really give much information on how faster it<br>
would be (only comparison point is A3 200 dpi in 2.3 s for the HS, and<br>
3 s for the N model, no info for higher resolutions).<br>

</span>Oh I didn't realize the 32 bit part. This is indeed annoying!<br>
Maybe I'll send an email and ask.<br>

</span>Do you know of other good brands which make A3 scanners? Good quality<br>
but reasonable price is what I am looking for.<br>
Thanks!<br>
