need help with handscanner

[rednova]

hi:

-What I want:
-to use my handscanner with my amiga 1200.

-What happened:
-a long time ago I bought an archos external cd drive with its pcmcia connection
and power supply/cord. It worked fine when installing..but I left it on with the power
on and when I turned off my a1200. Next morning, the amiga was fine but the
cd drive never worked anymore and I had to get rid of it.
Fortunately the amiga was good, unfortunately the cd was over.
Later on, I got a used handscanner for my amiga 1200 which was supposed to be
working. It did not work but it was supposed to, I suspect the pcmcia port
might have been damaged.The handscanner uses the pcmcia port.
I use an amiga 1200 with 030/50mhz and 18mb ram.
Any suggestions ?
Is it possible the pcmcia was damaged ?
Is it possible to make the scanner work ?
If the scanner is good..how can I make it work?
If the pcmcia was bad...will getting a new accelerator fix this problem?
I appreciate any advise...
Thank you !!!

Hi:

@mechy
I am tired now..the hanscanner is packed inside some boxes, so I will
seek it tomorrow to post exact name and brand. Is all legit inside the
box and complete with software and manuals.
It is possible I did not install the drivers (can't remember) so that
might be the reason it did not work, -hopefully that is it-.
Thank you very much for helping me.

@amiduffer
I want the handcanner to scan beautiful pencil drawings to use
in Moviesetter and Disney animation studio. If i can scan my
pencil drawings - I make pretty nice ones-then my 2d animations
in amiga will be superb. I could get digi view with a camera setup,
but my handscanner is paid for and other options might be expensive.
Thank you very much !!!
