In the 1970's I drooled over buying a scanner for my 486 box.
Bought a HP 4C scanner that almost cost one thousand bucks.
Can't recall if CAD software was included, probably not.
Tried using Irafanview option for CAD without success. So gave up on the big
idea 
Some years later someone I knew got a All-In-One Printer/Scanner and told me it
cost around $300.00 USD.

And Yes I stmphaci

symphacise with You about Running BASIC code and the program needing editing.

I remember when the stores has TI 99/44.
I played with one once to find out to get IT to print my name I had to press a
Function Key with the p key for my name to appear on the monitor screen.
