Subject: Re: Vintage computer diagrams scanning
I have a scanman 256 (Grayscale) on the shelf that I purchased new in the
1990's and just recently got a scanman color working on my 486/100 WFW
machine. Wish I had the kits that hold the scanner so they go in a straight
line. I have the software and manuals for both system.
For any real work I use an older Umax 1200s SCSI scanner connected to my
Quadra 950 Mac, I would use it on my Athlon PC but the original driver disks
only cover Mac OS 8-9 and Win 9x. You have to pay $50 or so to get drivers
for the scanner to work under Win2k (Silverfast) and I am not paying $50 for
old software drivers.

them out in banner format (borderless so you could make huge
posters etc). Very nice software, too bad I loaned a friend the disks and
never got them back. BTW if anybody happens to have version 1.0 of this
software contact me, I need a copy of the floppies (have the original
manual and serial number).
Well, what I've got is a Logictech ScanMan crica 1988. The software (I
NEVER throw software away, so if you have a need for vintage PeeCee
software, drop me a line--I might have it) comes on 5.25" floppies and is
ScanWare 1.1 and PaintShow Plus. Whatever they are. The label indicates
compatibility with PC, XT, AT, etc., so it's not going to be a Windoze
program. Didn't some of the old scanners have .PCX as an output format?
Cheers,
