Odd. I went to www.umax.com (chose USA) and found nothing that I would
call an ultraslim model (and a search there on "ultraslim" turned up
nothing). Ultraslim, to me, means something like the Canon model at
http://snipurl.com/70lx which is only 1.5" high and can fit inside a
center desk drawer.

Is this an old Umax scanner (where ultrathin meant anything less than 6
inches thick, maybe)? We had an old Umax Vista S12 scanner that could
not be used under Windows 2000/XP simply because Umax refused to write a
driver for it (which was only available as an included component in
their VistaScan software). So we now have it hooked up to an old
Windows 98 box.
