[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1882249, member: 190607"] Since it is so early in the existence of the M1-based Macs, the best way to approach things might be to decide on two or three candidates that you might be willing to purchase, and then go to the developer's Web site and see if they list M1 compatibility, or even better, they offer an M1-specific driver. If neither is in evidence, I would e-mail the developer(s) and ask them specifically about M1-compatibility. If that all fails, you might want to consider purchasing a scanner that is attractive and which also is listed as being supported by one of the commercial third party scanner drivers: Exactscan Pro [URL="http://www.exactscan.com/"]ExactScan - High Speed Document Scanning[/URL] (if you mostly scan documents) Vue-Scan [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.hamrick.com/[/URL] (if you mostly scan graphics) A final option might be to use your iPhone as a portable scanner using: Scanner Pro by Readdle (turns your iPhone into a surprisingly competent scanner) [URL unfurl="true"]https://readdle.com/scannerpro[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scanner-pro/id333710667?mt=8[/URL] [/QUOTE]
