>Hi Bill and Philippe- >Actually I have a Umax Vista V6 Scanner with an old version of OmniPro >and the problem is that when I went up to 9.2.2 on my B&W G3 I could not >find a Driver for it since Vista only went to 9.0 I think. I never Use Umax scanners , so I don't know ... take a look @ : http://www.umax.co.uk/support/drivers/d001B.htm <Version 3.5 (USB and SCSI) is primarily a maintenance release adding support for new scanner models (eg Astra 2000 and 2100 series), VistaAccess [control strip shortcut to VistaScan], Omnipage LE). This driver includes full support for the G3 BW systems with third-party SCSI cards (prior to this release MagicScan 4.2 + G3 patch are recommended).> Actual version for scsi is 3.5.1 ... They are speaking about BW G3 ... they are not about system nb. But on another page they said --> Vista S6 --> VistaScan 2.4.3 .. so I dunno if 3.5 is useful for your Vista 6, anyway there is a simple way to test when owning a big drive -> just format it with 3 partitions : 1 for usual system, 1 for test system and 1 for data, make tests on test partition ... if all is fine, instal on your *real* system. >But if a G4 is better then maybe I should go that route instead of an >IMac with the flat screen. G4 is powerfull for sound, images and video ... but no difference for your scanner !!! I don't see any way to use your scsi on iMac g4 flat pannel ... anyway you can upgrade your G3 with a G4 processor for as low as 200 $ >I have a program for doing prevention and rehab. work as well as ordinary >counseling applications, addictions, marriage problems etc. and it has a >lot of line drawings. My DeskTop Pub. friend wants to help me >professionalize it since it is in manuscript form. So she is going to >give me upgrades for Adobe products, PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign and >also a new MS Office app as well as the Adobe PDF maker/reader app so we >can communicate with the files for my program. I draw the symbols etc. >and she professionalizes them, sends me back copies for my Master files. >So, according to what Chris said I apparently do not need a super machine >like the G5 which I cannot afford anyway. So what do I need is what I >don't know. She has a G4 but wants to upgrade to G5 because she does a >lot of graphics work, animation and stuff but I don't need this. So what >do I need, a G4 or IMac or EMac is my problem. I intend to see the >computer shop Thurs. and see what kind of deal they will make for what I >owe in their attempt to fix my G3 and save my data and what they will >sell me a new machine for. What to do with my old stuff I'm not sure >except to follow the advice of Chris which I am leaning towards. My wife >thought that if there was any hope of fixing the G3 she would take it for >her use. Actually second hand G4/400 towers are as low as 400 to 600 S ... maybe it will be a way... > >Speaking of addictions, my attachment to Emailer is what started this >whole issue and there is no Emailer Anonymous therapy is there. Can Mail >or En'rage really fill the void? > >Thanks much my friends, >doug ______________________________oOo_____________________________ Philippe Rousseau - LA BOITE A IMAGES 10, Av.
