I have the new Quicksilver 867 G4 (9.2) running an Orange Micro SCSI+Serial
PCI card (a SCSI card that also adds two serial ports). I have the same
exact scanner as you and it works fine using the original software.  The
newer software posted online at UMAX strangely does not seem to work
though-- the plugins aren't recognized by Adobe Photodeluxe v1.1.  The 600S
is second on the chain, the 1st being a Plextor 8x CD burner, which also
works fine.
