Just curious, but what are the benefits of SCSI for scanning? The only
benefit I can think of is, erm, er, it can be done on old boxes for which
USB is not an option (like an old SPARC or somesuch.) What sort of
bandwidth does scanning chew up? USB2 should have the legs of any SE SCSI.

These days, USB has everything you could possibly need for scanning.
I'm, of course, assuming that drivers isn't a problem.
