Snapscan e42 Compatibilty mode with Win XP (To Win 98)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev (More info?)

Drivers are still at the Agfa website at:
http://www.agfa.com/digicam_scanne [...] pscan_e42/

You should not need compatibility mode. It's not Microsoft's responsibility
to produce drivers for other manufacturer's hardware and sounds to me like
the calibration on the unit isn't working correctly.

Since Agfa got out of the scanner business, it's probably time to change to
a newer scanner.
