Flatbed scanner on serial port of A-1200?

[wa9yoz]

Does anyone have any experience using a color flatbed scanner on the serial port of their Amiga? If so, would you share the experience and what type of software is needed.
Thanks all!....Ciao!...Tony

Thanks for da info!...my next experiment/challenge is to use a (PC) parallel scanner on the A-1200 parallel port...something to do & keep me out of bars..LOL..
One more thing: Is it true that one is NOT to use "PC" type of parallel cable with the Amiga's parallel port?
Last, which type of software were you using for the parallel flatbed scanner...thank you for your time!..Tony

Thank you all for the info...one more question:
If I use "Silver Surfer" connect to the serial scanner, would that increase the scanning speed?...just curious..I like to experiment, just like most of us radio amateur & Amiga users do...besides, keeps me from going to bars..LOL! :-?
