02:10 - Anybody need a large-format flatbed scanner?
|
(top) |
Because my new G5 has PCI-X slots, which are not compatible with the standard PCI SCSI card that powers my Microtek ScanMaker 6400XL scanner, I'm forced to sell it so I can recoup the cost toward the next model up (which supports FireWire).
(Forced to sell the scanner. Not the G5.)
And since nobody on Ebay feels like bidding, it behooves me to seek out some form of advertising for buyers that's free and yet reaches an audience of like-minded people who might be interested in this sort of thing.
Like... oh, I don't know... a blog.
Here she is. This is a large-format ("tabloid") scanner, e.g. 17x12" (A3) scan bed. It's in like-new shape, it's never let me down, and I feel like a cad for parting with it at all. It comes with:
- Adaptec AHA-2906 PCI SCSI card, including Win/Mac drivers and all original manuals
- 12-foot SCSI cable, 25-pin to 25-pin, which connects to the SCSI card directly
- 25-pin to 50-pin adapter for the scanner end of the cable
- Power cord
The scanner cost $900 when it was new; I'd be very happy if I could get something in the range of $500 for it now, but I'll be glad to listen to reasonable offers.
(Here's the official product page.)
Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
