Scrapps, I don't know the transfer rate numbers on both my parallel vs. my friend's scsi, but I've used them both for scanning pictures, and put it this way: they both take less than a minute to scan a photo. I couldn't tell any difference in speed, is what I was saying. So considering the fact that he had to end up buying a higher end scsi card to get his to work without using up 2 slots (scsi card for each his zip and scanner), I think parallel is a better deal for low volume work.You have to compare a parallel to a SCSI using the same brand of scanners. I know what you're saying. My transfer rate on my parallel may be higher than on his cheaper scsi. What I'm saying though, is that don't be fooled into believing that only scsi is acceptable.
