the problem in OSX is not the controller, it's the fact that there
isn't an OSX driver for that scanner. i'm not sure that the 2906
controller works with OSX either, but even if you got an OSX
compatible PCI/SCSI card, it still would not see the scanner in OSX.
there is a website that has hacks to enable old scanners with OSX, but
i don't recall the name for sure. something like SANE. perhaps
another lister can point you to it. however, i personally would not
attempt that. my suggestion is either get a new scanner (you can get
one that blows the doors off of your old microtek for under $50), or
simply scan and save the images to your HD in OS9, and then open or
import them into the apps you want to use in OSX.

Hi,
I have problems with my SCSI-controller card, it is an Adaptec 2906.
My SCSI-Probe in OS9 sees my Microtek Scanmaker III but when I try to
use it I get all kinds of errors. Although I used the scanner before
with Microtec ScanWizard now Photoshop versions 4 and 6 tell me I have
an old driver or scanner not found. In OSX no scanner is seen anyway
so I cannot use VueScan which I would prefer as I have Adobe CS2.
So what other brand and model of SCSI-controller can you recommend
that would work in OSX Panther/Tiger and OS9?
TIA for your input.
Regards, Jörg.
watch Craig's list for an all-in-one scanner/fax/printer. I personally
like the models w/ separate ink cartridges and a Cat 5 port to plug into
my networks. i.e. 3 computers 1 aio printer
HP models I have
C61xx series
73xx series
etc
