After starting this thread, I stumbled upon two ScanMate 5000 scanners. Not to far away of my home town. I took a look on them on Sunday and consider to buy both of them. One is broken, but the current owner thinks it should work, after fixing some damage done during transport. The second one is in working condition. I could use one to scan for now, have the second for spare parts and also as base for the DIY scanner project. We the working one (preview, focus and white point calibration), but could not do any scans, as the software lacks a dongle and we could not figure out how to get into demo mode. Next Sunday I will know more, as I bring my own old computer with SCSI connector to test...
