Thanks for all the info it helps!

Amazingly, over two years after I gave Ricoh the correct specs for the Océ TDS series, they are still totally wrong in this competitive lineup.

The PC is NOT customer supplied, it is a proiprietary system from Océ running XP Embedded. The specs on it vary, but it is a minimum (for new systems) 2ghz PC with 512MB RAM. Native DWG support is optional (with Reprodesk $1500).

It says the TDS400 only has support for AutoCAD up to version 14, when in reality, the Océ drivers support all versions, and are even included on the AutoCAD CD.

It says there is only a Windows driver for 98, ME and NT4.0, when in reality there are drivers for NT4.0, XP and 2000. (Win98 support requires using an out of date driver, with mixed results).

It says Ethernet is optional, when it is standard, it says the TDS has a serial port, but you cannot use the serial port.

It says the TDS300 does stamps while the TDS400 has optional stamps with Reprodesk. Actually, neither of them do stamps, but you can do stamps by adding Print Exec Workgroup ($1500) OR Reprodesk ($1500).

It says they do not know if the TDS300 has a PS option, but it does.

They say the TDS400 has no hard drive, and they don't know if the TDS300 has one, but they both have a Hard Drive(located in the controller), used for set copies.

It says the TDS300 and 400 do Automatic size detection, but neither the 300 or 400 does automatic WIDTH detection for scanning. You either have to set the default width to a size you always run, or manually change the width each time you scan (big advantage for Ricoh here).

They say that: "Every attempt has been made to represent accurate information but cannot complete accuracy." well... no, not really.
