I got an Epsom 3170 scanner which is USB2, but my MDD G4 is only USB1.
I was thinking about getting a card for it but i am hearing rumors that according to some tests going from USB to USB 2 just doesn't seem to make much difference with a scanner. But I know my old Microtek SCSI scanner was a whole lot faster (when it would deign to work, which wasn't often) than the new Epson is.
Anyone tried it both ways, and can give an authoritive answer on this?
