That explains why the Mac has that particular card in it :) I don't have the original card that came with the scanner at all, but now that I've been trying to remember about it, I do believe it was a PC only card anyway. So that brings me back to scrounging an adapter to see if the old beast (it's a legal-size scanner - they don't sell THOSE at Best Buy any more, grin) still has any life left in it :)
