Bruce,

thanks for the recommendation of VueScan. Works like a charm on my 
mavericks machine. Of course now I have to find a purpose for my former 
scan station... ;-)

Have you tried VueScan? I’ve had good luck with a bunch of older 
scanners with it; it’s also far superior scanning software than what 
most manufacturers supply.

Robert,


Have you looked at SETI@home or Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence 
(SETI)?

setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

The thing is that they are down at the moment for maintenance.

Robert,

Not that I've ever done it, but have you looked at SETI@home or Search for 
Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)?

setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

The think is that they are down at the moment for maintenance.

I make a tabloid newspaper with a Graphite G4 733 mhz (with old versions of
Quark and Photoshop), and I have a Graphite G3 iMac 600 mhz loaded with
MP3s that's an excellent jukebox and CD burner.

Thanks for the reminder...I remember checking VueScan before to no 
avail, but it was worth another look. Unfortunately the ScanJet 4570c 
isn't supported. Shame...it's a good scanner.


I did get it working on a Mac Mini running 10.9 using TWAIN, but could 
only get it working from the Terminal, so I had none of the GUI tools 
and instant PDF exporting that I get with the HP software.
