Nope. From time to time there have been windows releases where the old
drivers would not work, and no new ones were written. I had a SCSI Black
Widow scanner that had to be thrown for just that reason.
Still running a 386 with Win98SE for one scanner, as long as it works I'm not
going to drop most of $1k to buy another. I really can't see throwing out an
expensive scanner to make a political (religious?) point of "only Linux on my
systems."
