I have been offered an LS-30 (little used), with all the included kit for ~
£150.
Is this a good buy (plus I'd get to see the unit before purchase). The Scan
Dual may/maynot work on XP - I am waiting to hear from the seller as to
which version it is.
>From the reviews, the LS30 would seem to be the better purchase (especially
as it would come with the SCSi card - I'd need to get one for the Scan
Dual).
Any advice appreciated though!
Cheers
Chris
