a few things

[Kerry Hoath]

I hear ocrshop works well not sure of the state of usb support for scanners
under Linux some go and some don't.
I thought openbook didn't like the 5200 too much; but they might have fixed that.
In the short term my recommendation is to run Windows 98 second edition for
all your scanning needs.
BTW vmware 3 lets jaws's software speech run in an emulated machine.

Regards, Kerry.
