Oh... I wonder where I might find an older version of Iscan. Well
anyway, did Iscan produce much better scans of negatives (and other
transparencies) than xsane?

Well, I have 1260 Photo as well (which detects as GT-7300). I thought

Because the transparcy unit is available as an extension to the normal
1260...

I wish I knew. Nobody still hasn't told me, whether this
scanner can produce web-quality scans of (darker) slides
