Hi All,
I thought I would pass along this item which i received from a work
colleague. It talks about the ScannR which is firstly a scanning machine and
can scan a variety of items, books, papers, magazines etc. I only now also
discovered that it can be used as a computer so read on for more
information.
I don't use one of these devices myself but you could contact one of the
I.T staff in NCBI if you wished to know more about it.

Hello all,
Just to say that I followed up on Sharon's tip from a meeting some time ago
re removing the back panel from a ScannaR to reveal standard PC connections.
I plugged in a montor, keyboard and mouse and turned on the ScannaR.
Windows 2000 Professional loads with IE5, Outlook Express and Accessories
(Wordpad, Games, etc.) as standard. The ScannaR program is in the StartUp
list but when I exit from it (using Alt F4), I can use the ScannaR as a
standard PC. Jude plugged in his 3 mobile broadband (USB) and we went
surfing! I had thought of running Thunder and/or Lightning from a memory
stick but ... my confidence ran out at that point in case I mucked up any
ScannaR settings.
This particular ScannaR doesn't have an in-built CD drive or dial-up modem -
it does have two USB slots and a connection for broadband modem.
System spec: 40 GB hard disk (15GB reserved for data), 256 MB RAM, VIA
Nehemiah AT/At comptible processor chip.
If a service user had a ScannaR and wished to use a PC for basic word
processing, Internet, e-mail, games - it's all there for the cost of a
monitor, mouse and keyboard (assuming installation of a free screen reader
and/or magnifier).
This was new to me so I thought I'd pass it on.
Best wishes,
Maureen.
