Mustek now supplies a beta driver for the 1-pass and 3-pass flatbed scanners 
on their taiwanese webpage for WinNT 4.0. These drivers will only work in 
combination with an adaptec SCSI controller or the Mustek DTC interface card. 
Users who received an AZ interface with their scanner can obtain a DTC card 
from Mustek for about $25? (DM 60). The drivers work, until now I found that 
the Ulead ImagePals GO application (16 bit) is the only application that does 
not work, other Twain applications seem to work without problems.
The address is: http://www.mustek.com.tw
