Thanks to Andrew and to the others for the good suggestions. After I learned that my old SCSI external drive is not big enough for OS X, I decided that the old scanner is not worth keeping. I'm having to run Norton on my 6300 system again because the scanner software is broken. So I'll buy a new USB or FireWire scanner that should be better than the old one. And hopefully, this simplifies the system. -- Al Poulin -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
