I've been using this Acer 620U forever. It isn't the fastest but it looks great for what I'm doing. I just blew a load of cash buying all the parts for my new PC and don't have enough cash to buy a new scanner. It still works perfectly... EXCEPT - I doubt it will work with Windows XP. I bought it back in 1999 I believe. I went to Acers site to see that they don't even list drivers for it at all.. so I guess it's no longer supported. I like it because it uses Mirascan... so Photoshop just uses it as the twain device and I don't have to use a cheesy external software. I emailed Acer and got an automated reply saying they will contact me shortly. It has been 5 days with no reply. I'd hate to build my new PC, load in a device that doesn't work, and have to uninstall it... which would most likely leave trace elements making a mess of Windows... Has anyone used this 620U on XP with the software that came with it?
Works fine for me. Although Acer has since moved their scanner line to the Benq name, updated drivers are available if you look. Windows XP still recognized it just fine.
