NFS is the Network File System, most commonly used for UNIX systems. OS X
isn't actually my native platform - the machine in fact belongs to my
housemate. I use a different UNIX OS, for which there is no software that will
drive the Nikon scanners, so I use his machine as the scanner workstation. I
want the scans to end up on my system, and the OS X box doesn't have enough
disk space for many scans anyway (a stack dropped into the feeder results in 6
to 16GB of scans, depending on what-all I save), so I mount a filesystem from
my machine to the OS X box via NFS and scan to that. But the Nikon Scan
release notes said that scanning to any type of network filesystem would not
work, and indeed it didn't, though this may have changed with more recent
versions. Vuescan had no problem, and I like its interface better than what I
saw of Nikon Scan (a cursory look due to the aforementioned problem).
