DegasElite Posted May 14, 2021 Report Posted May 14, 2021 Hey, guys, I have some questions. Does anyone in this forum know what types of flatbed document scanners are compatible with Atari ST/E/TT/Falcon030 computers? I have some older scanners, including a compatible hand scanner from GoldenImage for the ST. I also have a old UMAX Astra 1220U scanner, for Windows and Mac, without the software included. Is there a flatbed scanner I can get for the Atari computer line? I know it would be an older scanner, and maybe my UMAX could be used for scanning documents on an STE or compatible, but I find that unlikely. However, one can hope. Is there special software for scanners to make them compatible with the 16/32 Atari computer line? Thanks. :O) Quote
RickR Posted May 14, 2021 Report Posted May 14, 2021 Do a search for "Sandrine" and "ScanX" for the Atari ST. It's been a long time, but I know I've had that same Umax scanner hooked up to an ST with one of those. It works with many different brands of scanner. DegasElite 1 Quote

DegasElite Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Posted May 14, 2021 I found information on these apps, but no downloads. It seems they are commercial apps. Still looking… :O) Quote
DegasElite Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Posted May 14, 2021 UPDATE: I found the Sandrine demo with its companion software, Cecile. They need to work together to operate. Here's the site for the demos: http://centek.free.fr/atari/softs/softmenu.htm There it is, RickR. Thanks. :O) RickR 1 Quote
DegasElite Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) I also found information on ScanX Pro, from Homa Systems House. So far, no program. It seems these businesses are gone, so there's no recent information on them or downloads. I will try the Sandrine app soon. There has to be something on ScanX Pro that is pertinent, like a demo of it. Maybe. Edited June 7, 2021 by DegasElite Quote
