Howdy, all... I've been cleaning out some old computer gear and came across my old UMAX 1200S Astra flatbed scanner (which I originally bought for a PC) and thought to myself, hm, why not see if this thing will work with my Sawtooth. Hm again - the Astra's cable is a DB25 male and the Mac has a SCSI card with an HD50 female connector. I do not know if this card works, I don't have anything to hook to it. Does anyone know anything about these cards - what information do I need to dig up for it to see if it would talk to the scanner?
I cannot find the original SCSI card that came with the scanner - that appears to be lost to history at this point. Do you think an adapter to the existing SCSI card might work, or should I try to locate a card like the one shown here: http://www.amazon.com/Adaptec-2906-SCSI-Windows-Support/dp/B00005111H ? That's a ton of money to spend on an ancient scanner that hasn't been turned on in over a decade. Any thoughts or ideas welcome :) Thanks, Annie M -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
