My scanner is connected via an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card which is well supported in OS X, so it may be that there are some issues with certain SCSI controllers beyond the SCSI cards that Apple willingly supports. Hopefully your scanner will work, providing it's listed on the VueScan web site as one of the supported brands. VueScan saved me from having to buy a USB scanner, I hope it does the same for you. Keep in mind that if you have a self terminating external device (like a Zip or a SyQuest drive, for example) you could perhaps put the scanner before it, and avoid having to track down an actual terminator. -Howie -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
