Maybe the AVision AVA6, ,just A6 sized scanner is handy in
your case.

Maybe google for it, the SPECs and pictures. It is not yet
supported
by SANE, as it is 100% different from the other Avision
scanners, but
I have info around to finish the avision2 driver if anyone
has demand
for it (so far I had no use for the AVA6 on my desk and thus
the
avision2 driver creation is not my top TODO right now).

Yours,

thought this was simplex, as is the fujitsu fi-60.

perhaps you want something intended for business cards,
though i dont
know of any with sane support. look at
http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2111p086id112741.htm


i have been thinking of talking my boss into buying a
CardScan
Executive V8, and let me play with reverse engineering it.
other
makers/names include syscan/ambir and of course, most of the
avision
and fujitsu duplex machines can take cards. but what a waste
of
money...
