I haven't tried Silverfast under OSX yet but I may download that later

just have to try.
Not sure I want to go the cable interface change yet but I guess that is always a distant backup plan.
Hi guys-
When I first started to use Jaguar I downloaded VueScan and each new version they released thereafter, in the hope that the scanner would go that one extra step and scan. With VueScan I got a chuckle out of the scanner and the same result as David.
Yesterday, after reading this thread I downloaded Silverfast, which listed support for my make and model of scanner. Well, it doesn't see the scanner at all. I tried restarts but I think the problem is that, the entire SCSI chain, the "slow" SCSI in the S900 cannot be seen in OSX. Classic won't help because working through OSX there is no SCSI. When I start up in 9.2.2, my drive and everything on the slow chain is available. I don't know of any fix to enable OSX to see this SCSI. If anyone knows of any please pass it on. What is definitely weird here is that VueScan at least got the scanner to burble a few times and if the SCSI cannot be "seen" in OSX, then how did it make a partial connection?

If you guys are at all interested in rolling your own (and I don't even know if you have to in this case), you might check out SANE. It is an open source project that supports a wide variety of scsi scanners and should compile on MacOSX (Darwin). On Linux it requires X11, but
a quick google turns up:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031210121452687
which implies that someone has already ported it to 10.2/10.3. This, like CUPS, might be a chance for apple users to benefit from OSX'x open source heritage. Might be something to check into - and the price is right :)
