Yeah, I thought I remembered it was something like that, but didn't
remember how much faster SCSI is.
Still begs the question of whether it has any effect on scanner speed. A
fill, uncompressed TIFF image is about 45mb, which would be about 22sec
and I think the mechanical part of a scan is longer than that, but It's
too late to try one just now. SCSI, of course long predates USB.

I want to say that USB is up to 2MB/sec
whereas SCSI-2 is up to 10MB/sec.
I don't know how this relates to the scanner in question, but USB certainly
has it's limitations, otherwise there wouldn't be USB 2.0, Firewire and
SCSI. Also, it's probably not a coincidence that many "pro" (obviously not
consumer) scanners still use SCSI.
HTH...and I hope someone else will comment in more detail!
