A happy new year to one and all.
The first offering of 2025 is a title from David Pilling Software, Image
Master. This came bundled with a Mustek 600 II EP flat bed scanner for
RISCOS 3.x operating system computers with a bi-directional printer port. At the
Archive the system used to test the software and scanner was a 4Mb, 25Mz A5000

Thanks to MattBlissett of the StarDot forum for the kind donation of
the scanner and software. |
