OCR Software?

Microsoft Office Document Imaging can do it, so can Vuescan. Convert the files to TIFF format, and use Vuescan to OCR the files. Free if you already own Office or Vuescan, which many people do since the introduction of Panther and Tiger caused problems for older scanner drivers. Otherwise, advert on the Swap List for a copy of Omnipage Pro for OS 10, or even OS 9.

Re: SATA card for DVD burner in a MDD
On Nov 7, 5:27 pm, Ross olfec...@digizip.com wrote: What is the cheapest functional SATA card available for use in a MDD DP1.42GHz system to run SATA DVD drives? I already have a Seritek 1V4 installed and running my hard drives, but the 1V4 is NOT designed to run SATA DL DVD/RW drives like the TSST SH223S drive I have recently purchased. I tried running the DVD burner off the Seritek card, but although it is recognized, it is effectively non-responsive. Pressing the eject key on the keyboard eventually opens/closes the drive tray, but takes a very long time. The drive may function using Disk Utility/ Burn, but does not work under Toast 7.13, with or without a Patchburn profile. Firmtek-Seritek says the 1V4 does not support optical drives/ devices, only hard drives. I was hoping a cheap SYBA or SIIG SATA controller would do the trick, but haven't found a definitive answer. Hope someone here can help. Ross As previously stated, the SYBA PCI-X model SD-PCXSA2-2E2R is the only SATA card that claims ATAPI device compatibility with the non-RAID/ Base firmware/driver. I looked at Adaptec, and they do not have any listed Mac compatible SATA cards. I guess they're still pissed off with Apple for abandoning SCSI. Areca may have a card or two that will support ATAPI devices on Mac systems, but their product line is high-end commercial server oriented, and priced accordingly; i.e., way too expensive for a home user who just wants to convert an old G4 MDD to all SATA drives. Sonnet says they have NO SATA cards that will support ATAPI devices. They apparently have their cards manufactured by Firmtek/Seritek. I doubt the Seritek 1S2 will run ATAPI devices either. I ordered the SYBA PCI-X model SD-PCXSA2-2E2R from mwave, and am waiting for it to show up. I will report back on whether it actually works for ATAPI devices, or not. If it does, I may have a Seritek 1V4 to sell. -- 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.

mouse problem
A strange mouse problem. I am using a G4 MDD 1.42, 4 GB ram,OS 10.4.11. Standard Apple Keyboard and for the last 5 years I have been using a Kensington 4 button mouse with the Kensington latest MouseWorks with no problems, all in all a very stable setup. All my system software is up to date including Safari 4.04. About a month ago I decided to try a 4 button Logitech mouse that I had laying around. My wife had used it on her iBook before switching to a Kensington mouse, and it exhibited no problems. I like the additional features that the Logitech mouse offered. About two weeks into using the Logitech mouse it it started to act strangely, like freezing the system, and sometimes just being unresponsive, so after two weeks I removed it and all of the Logitech software and drivers using the Logitech uninstaller. I went back to my Kensington mouse and all was well again for about another two weeks. Then today the Kensington mouse started to behave the same way that the Logitech mouse had been acting. I first noticed the strange behavior while using Filemaker. Text boxes would not open, if I clicked on an object the mouse would not release it. In finder when I tried to click on anything nothing would happen. I couldn't pull down menus or access the dock. I ran Applejack, repaired permissions, booted in safe mode and reset the PRAM. The next time I booted the mouse would not work at all. The dock would not pop up when I put the cursor on it, I could not select any items in the top menu bar. I then unplugged the Kensington mouse and tried the original Apple mouse that came with the computer and all was fine. I have now removed the Kensington software and I am using the Apple mouse. I ran DiskWarrior, repaired permissions and so far so good but I sure miss the four button mouse. While trying to troubleshoot the Logitech problem I tried plugging the keyboard into another jack. I disconnected all the cables and the power cable from the computer and let it sit for an hour. I used the CUDA button to reset the system. Has anyone else experienced these problems on their Mac? I can't believe that two mice that were in working order just decided to die and maybe I might have a bigger problem waiting to happen. I hope not.
