All you have to do is ask...

I bought this as a student needing to lighten my backpack (endless photocopies and pages of stuff...) It has been perfect. While the quality isn't necessarily top of the line, it is excellent considering the size and cost. There isn't a lot of software of documentation included, but it really isn't needed.As for the win2k/xp drivers, all you need to do is ask. I sent an email to tech support and the drivers were delivered to my inbox within 15 minutes (Really!) It has been working flawlessly ever...

Works fine with Windows 2000

Like a previous reviewer, I needed to e-mail the company to get drivers for XP/Win2000. They sent them the next day. My laptop still has 2000... software installed easily.I have to disagree with the reviewer who said this scanner isn't even mentioned on the company's website. At the bottom of http://www.antec-inc.com/support_faqDownload.html they tell you where to e-mail for Attache drivers.I've only used the scanner in OCR mode... not actually doing OCR, but scanning entry forms etc when I'm on...

A nice little Roadie

I wasn't expecting great image quality at this price, but have been very pleasantly surprised.Have been using with Windows XP Pro without any problem at all. Tech support on Antec website e-mailed XP drivers on request.Paper transport needs a bit of hands on guidance with really small items and sure, USB interface would be nice. But this is a closout, so one should not be expecting state of the art.It's not for the desktop, but it fits very nicely into laptop case and is great for the road.Even...

Pretty but doesn't work with Windows XP

If I had known there were no Windows XP drivers for this scanner, I wouldn't have bought it. I went to the Antec website to see about getting some updated drivers, but the site doesn't even mention the Attache scanner. Apparently they have discontinued it and offer no support.My advice: don't buy it if your running Windows XP....

Poor Driver Support for XP

The CD failed to install working drivers. I downloaded a set of drivers and it states everythinga being in working order...but unit doesn't work.It says it's not powered on, and the manual doesn't offer much info at all. Documentation is poor for any troubleshooting.There doesn't appear to be any support for this product from Antec any longer. Great price...but might not be a great choice.*bummed*If I could get it working I'd be happy...it's small, compact, just what I wanted in design....
