Tootler - a WARNING!

The small, quick slide and neg scanners of the type shown in Bernard's link 16 Mar 07:34pm will not work in Linux. I've had 3 different makes on my computer - they all came with ArcSoft Impression software for Windows, and as far as I can tell they will not operate without it.

I use mainly Linux, but I still have a WinXp dual boot, which is how I've done my scanning. I'm no whizz on Linux, but I've tried the scanners with no luck.
