Re: Scanner software works in 10.3 but not 10.4--how come?
Thanks Mel. It ain't a stupid question at all. Well, the thing is, I make videos with Final Cut that consist largely of pans and zooms on photos. I made one recently about art that showed a lot of paintings that were scanned from slides (you can see it on YouTube at http:// tinyurl.com/6e698m). Anyway, so these videos consist of photos and more photos, often in the original form of negatives and slides of various formats, up to 6 X 6 cm, and they all have to be scanned and digitized before I can use them. What I wanted was the speed and convenience of being able to run Final Cut and the Minolta film scanner at the same time, on the same computer, and in the same OS, so as to be able to scan photos and immediately drop them into Final Cut without needing to shut down Final Cut and boot back into other versions of the OS, or go to another computer entirely to scan the pictures and then move them over to the Mac that's running Final Cut. Just looking for convenience and speed, an efficient workflow I guess they call it. But I guess, as you say, time has left the Minolta film scanner and the SCSI interface behind, so we must make do with what we have. Replacement film scanners with USB or SCSI interface that can do what the Minolta does cost upwards of $2000. So, since the new G5 I just bought cannot run an OS earlier than 10.4, and you can't get inexpensive SCSI cards for it either, I'll simply have to keep my old Quicksilver around and use it as a dedicated film scanning station. Or maybe try a SCSI-to-USB adapter as Kris suggested, and see if the G5 can run the film scanner that way, with the less capable VueScan software. Thanks Kris. Trade-offs: with the new G5, I gain the video editing capability of Final Cut Pro and some processor speed, but I leave behind my film scanner, and have to run it with another computer, and then move files between computers. So it goes, as computer technology races on.

Personally, I'm of the mind that if 10.4 is a requirement for Tom to be in or primarily use, get another quicksilver or a more upscale machine and dedicate one to his Film Scanning. It might also speed up his scanning a lot because he can fiddle away on one Mac while the other fiddles away on his scanning.

Re: Scanner software works in 10.3 but not 10.4--how come?
I'll check out the SCSI card driver update Kris, thanks. Don't know if that will fix the software, though. Got my fingers crossed. I'll report back when I try it, in a day or so. Too busy to fool with it just at the moment. Thanks Brian, I did buy VueScan, and it will run the scanner, all right, but very slowly, and with a clunky interface. The scanner works so slowly under VueScan that I sometimes think it didn't get a command, it just sits there idle for so long, and I'm about to give up when it finally starts to do something. And VueScan only has a fraction of the controls that the original Minolta software does, for correction of color, gamma, contrast, etc. It's loaded with all sorts of adjustment windows, sliders, and graphs. Best of all, the software runs the scanner really fast compared to VueScan. It responds to commands instantly. I'd sure like to get that Minolta software working in 10.4. John, I'm glad to see others still using these fine Dimage scanners. Do you have any idea where to get replacement lamps for them? They surely can't last forever, and if the lamps can't be bought anymore, there goes the scanner, to the junk pile. I've been worried about that. Minolta has bit the dust, and is out of the camera and scanner business. There is no more support. But surely there are enough of these Minoltas still in use for some manufacturer to stock bulbs for them, wouldn't you think? If you know of any source, please let me know.

I've scanned over six thousand slides with mine and still have another three thousand to go. Works flawlessly. If you are interested I would be happy to let you use mine when I'm done with my slides. My first SLR was a Minolta and I was surprised and saddened when they went out of business. I've noticed a number of Minolta scanners on e-bay and at reasonable prices. I got mine on the LEM swap list and have been very pleased with it. Good luck.
