RE: Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 connectivity

[Cliff Ober <cdober@xxxxxxx>]

The current leading edge SCSI tranfer rate is at 320MB/s with Ultra320.
Here's an IBM drive product available with that transfer rate:

Chip sets are readily available to support Ultra320, and at least one
company (Atto) has host adapters available now.

Specs are under development for 640MB/s SCSI rates in the future... not that
this has any bearing on scanning ;^)

The list must have forgotten the 80 and 160MBps SCSI versions? In any event,
most
scanners don't need more than 20MBps, so the optimum choices are still
SCSI-2(wide) or more current ; and Firewire; both much faster than USB1.1.
No
current scanners output via USB 2 to my knowledge. Paul
