Basically any modern scanner with usb/fw/scsi interface from a reputable maker like Epson, HP and the like should work just fine.
Have an Epson Perfection SU-1640 myself at home, it works great. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================

What about mac driivers. Are they on the provided discs or available for download? or does osx have drivers built in?

Depends on the Scanner, in OS-X you get a bunch of drivers for printers at least. ( HP, Epson Canon - among others)
Dont remember offhand if any drivers for scanners were included. To my Epson-1640 - I download drivers from Epson-s website. They install as a twain-module/driver, so I can aquire the scanner from the Filemenu in Photoshop. Safest bet would be to visit the scanner vendors website-s and download the proper drivers.
