I have an opportunity to grab a HP ScanJet 5100C model for $50. As I read the SANE docs, this is a parallel port model fully supported by the SANE/TAME software. Can anyone offer advice or experience in using this model please?

Is that "Dig"? (or at least it was.). I had no trouble picking it up with the Real Player that came with eCs 1.0. Haven't tried lately. However, another good test is . I had a lot of enjoyment from that, although there were times when memory constraints stopped transmission for a while. If that works, maybe the ABC should too. Hope this helps.

Meaning, it _might_ work, but as you'll be the first one to try, you'll be a guinea pig completely at his own.  Nevertheless, good luck and I wish you'll make it. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 19:22:12 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: More questions on scanners now HP5100C SANE on Linux will support it for sure, however the OS/2 port is known to have some "issues" with Parrallel Port connected scanners. You may be lucky though, and for $50 it's probably worth a shot ! Cheers/2 Ed.

Don't know this model. I have used a HP 4P parallel port scanner with OS/2 for years. Runs well with Copyshop 2.

Nothing but trouble & the lpt interface really is too slow for the amount of data throughput, Oh, good luck trying to get a printer working through it too ;) I might update my HP 4c & 5p scanners, both are for sale. Full support provided to get you going. The 5p has_never_been_used. It came from a customer's site & still contained a sheet of packaging paper on the glass under the lid:- i.e. it had never been used, although the exterior is slightly soiled. I've even got the box for the 4c & will provide a better-than-original ISA SCSI card with the unit. The original card was a CPU hog & I think I threw it out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 11 ==========================** Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 23:39:20 +1100 (EDT) From: "David Forrester" Subject: Re: Java 1.41 On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 21:28:24 +1100 (AEDT), Alan Duval wrote: >Hi, > >I have installed Golden Code's Java 1.41.

I'm not using the Golden Code's Java plugin, as I'm running Mozilla 1.6, but, what you have sounds correct from when I did try it. My test for Java in the browser is . It works well with Innotek's Java.
