Happy > hunting! > > - Gary Gary, I'm using Version 7.6.5 in OS9 and it works...thats where Im puzzled, the software "autosenses" the device no problem, it "calibrates" and scans no problem, when I boot back into OSX...everything is the same, except it takes about 2 extra minutes to "sense" the device and just hangs.... the perfection 1200 is terminated as far as I can tell, I have no problem scanning in OS9.2.2 using Photoshop 6, GC 4.4.4 or even Omnipage OCR using Epson's twain 4 driver/plug-in, I cannot get the scanner over this OSX hurdle........ There is some sort of conflict here in the OS. Epson doesn't have a OSX driver for this scanner I have scoured the web in search of a "thread" from someone with a similar problem no luck......again, I've thought about a scsi to usb adapter, not sure it will work here. I hate to part with this workhorse of mine. I could go on and on. Thanks to all....Phillip Meza -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
