I have a mustek 1200 usb scanner which was also not supported . However I downloaded
the windows 2000 drivers from the web site and tried installing them . I eventually
persuaded them to install with a registry hack but you may find that windows 2000
drivers from visioneer will load straight away or under compatability mode . Failing
all that if you don't like tinkering with the registry I have a small visual c++
utility which I am working on which may do the job .Ian
