Hi Do TWAIN make scanners? I thought that TWAIN was an interface. almost every scanner is TWAIN compliant and when installed under Windows uses a TWAIN interface but the same scanner will work under GNU/Linux with the "Scanner Access Now Easy". You can see the list of supported scanners on the SANE www site. Sorry, can't remember what TWAIN stands for but it is another acronym.
