The blooming e-mail includes, in line, copies of all of the previous e-mails, so any 'technical difficulties' in retrieving the information must be due to a loose nut on the keyboard!.
Fer Gooo's sake, I asked them for a scanner belt for a model X83. Why in the world would they want me to describe the problem, the print out results and the operating system I am using????
Well, anyway, with Franc's information in front of me, I did a google for the part number of the belt, found a closer source and ordered a belt. If I had had half a brain, I would have looked in one of the on-line-manuals, found the correct part number and googled for that number rather than trying to find something with the model number and the word belt.
Thanks to all for patience and suggestions.
