There is another gotcha for OS X that I have found for some USB
scanners, and may exist for Firewire scanners. If you are running OS 9
(Classic), the drivers there can interfere with VueScan communicating
with the scanner. Depending on I don't know what, sometimes you have to
reboot if you let OS 9 see the scanner. I can't comment in detail,
because life is too short to figure out all the issues--but I have no
problem scanning from VueScan in OS X on a Nikon 4000 when OS 9 is not
running.

There was an old restriction when using Vuescan on a Mac (might have

still the case when using Vuescan for OS X and Nikon Scan for OS X?
I don't know the situation on PC. But on Mac OS 9 and earlier, there is an
issue. The Nikon Scan software installs a group of files into the
Extensions folder. These files conflict with VueScan. To run VueScan you
need to turn off all extensions whose file names begin with Nikon... (by
moving them out of the Extensions folder) and then restarting the Mac. To
run Nikon Scan, you need to move the extensions back, and restart. A pain
in the ass if you use both programs.
The issue does not exist in OS X. I have run VueScan and Nikon Scan in X,
without rebooting. But I have not tried running them at the same time.
