Mac OS no longer supported
Last I heard Ed was working on adding FireWire (or USB?) support to the Mac
OS X version. I believe he dropped off this list for a week so he could
start programming after he obtained the SDK from apple . Sound like Apple
must have done something to really piss Ed
This is the reply I received from Ed. I am forwarding it to the newsgroup
as I don't believe the Ed is currently subscribed and can not post. Bad
news for Mac users of VueScan.

I saw a post here noting that there was a difference when scanning 24 vs. 48

memory is super cheap right now, a 256mb module is only $34.. so stock up, your

You should also make sure you get a fast hard drive, usually 7200rpm and ATA100.

I've become quite fond of Provia 100F. It is sharp as a tack and

I feel you pain. It is often so hard to know which component to target
