    I would not recommend a microtek scanner, which i have myself.
    It's not very fast and currently there are no backend maintainers.
    I've heard HP-scanners and Umax scsi-scanners are good supported.
    I would not know how fast they are though.
    If you want it fast the best thing is to get a scsi one, and attach it to
    a good scsi-card.
