I doubt it. Afga ended it's support of it's scanners, and focuses on 
other products now. Why? I have no clue. What it means: unless someone 
has found a workaround, VueScan is your only hope.

Regardless, it has made an Arcus II obsolete in the setup at work. 
Pretty sad, as these sorts of things should have, well, a longer life. 
After switching to Panther, the Arcus II failed to work. It was also 
generating 3 color bars (red, blue, green) when it scanned, and when in 
grayscale they appeared as different shades of gray!

I sort of lost any hope of getting it to interface properly, and we are 
getting a Microtek 8900xl (9800?) soon.

Anyone have any experience with the Microtek scanner? Pretty much a 
tabloid size scanner, with a TMA as an option.
