It�s my understanding that OS X Panther does not work with SCSI. I had a Nikon film scanner and a flat bed that I couldn�t get to work either.
Somewhere in the mountain of Panther info I�ve read that there is no scsi support for scanners. And you can�t access them through Classic mode either. I made a partition on one of my drives and installed a separate OS9 System (not your Classic mode OS9) and booted from that when I wanted to use the scanners. Good luck.
