hp4c scanjet scanner, does it work with linux?

[awesome-dave1 at juno.com]

Hello,
	If your using the original hp scsi card no way will it work under Linux.
It is totally proprietary to hp and is unfunctional outside of windows.
However, if you get a standard scsi card, ensure it's a 50-pin syntronics
or better yet bring your cable in to where you buy parts and say you need
a card to match this, i use an advansys controller, and it works fine.
	As for OCR software if you find any please let me know.
Thanks.
Dave.
