[G] Re: Blue & White Rev 1 scsi scanner?

[James S Jones]

Your scanner will definitely work with a PCI SCSI card. I'd recommend 
an Adaptec 2930, which you can find on eBay for $25, or so. I can 
attest to that card working well in a B&W with OS X. Note that there 
are both PC and Mac versions of the 2930--if you buy one, be sure you 
get the right one. As for dwindling PCI slot availability, what other 
cards do you have?

The Adaptec USBXchange sells for a similar price. I've never used a 
SCSI to USB adapter, but I did try a SCSI to FIreWire (not from 
Adaptec). I could never get it to work with my scanner.

OK now another question for you B&W owners out there....
I have a scsi scanner and don't want to get a new scanner even though 
they
are relatively cheap. It's a Umax S6E and works GREAT with the 
software in
9.2.2. Been researching scsi-usb adapters and found this:

Adaptec USBXchange
I really don't want to add another PCI card, running out of slots...
Anyone have any experience with it? Or any experience at ALL at 
hooking up a
scsi scanner somehow to a Blue & White Rev 1? Want to spend the LEAST 
amount
and I know adaptec is nice to us Mac people (at least in the past). 
Thanks
for any help!
