VueScan, already mentioned, should manage the Microtek, but you need a PCI SCSI card such as Adaptec 2906, supported under X. For the printer, I would get a cheap printserver, and assign it an IP address. You can then set it up under X with the PrintCenter, or under 8-9 ( as well as XClassic) with the Desktop Printer Utility. You can do this with all the machines you have. I have my antique NEC PS printer hooked up this way, always have had, and print to it under 10.1.5 and Classic (9.2.1), depending on what SW is running. Jaguar is supposed to have USB Printer Sharing, sorely missed after moving from OS9xx. The Epson should also have a USB port? Just plug it in, most newer Epson's are supported under X. The Zip:. just plug the ZIP into that SCSI card: it is automatically supported. With any USB-serial adapter such as KeySpan, you can connect your GV modem, but whatever for? I connect my Acer ISDN telephone box per KeySpan, but only for configuration. b http://www.william-jurgenson.com -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
