I saw a simular problem with Vuescan not "displaying" properly, pop up menus and such. I ended up purchasing an "USB to SCSI" adapter from Microtech which also helped, but I still was not able to use Epson's "Native" USB driver with the SCSI unit. ended up selling the 1200S for a 1200U (USB) I have a friend with an HP 6100 and the "software" that HP gives you is I must say "poorly written". One question... Do you have it connected to the external "onboard SCSI 25 pin" Sorry and what version of Jaguar? 10.2.8? ---- Msg sent via Spymac Mail - http://www.spymac.com -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
