Scanner software works in 10.3 but not 10.4--how come?

I have a Quicksilver 1GHz DP running 10.4.11, with a SCSI card (Adaptec 2930) in it to run a big old SCSI Minolta film scanner (Dimage Scan Multi II). The scanner came with its proprietary Minolta software ("Dimage Scan Utility"), which works very well, but it only works in in 10.3.9. So, to use

I'll check out the SCSI card driver update Kris, thanks. Don't know if that will fix the software, though. Got my fingers crossed. I'll report back when I try it, in a day or so. Too busy to fool with it just at the moment. Thanks Brian, I did buy VueScan, and it will run the scanner, all right,

OK, I can report now that I tried the fix that is detailed in the Apple Discussion forum thread that Kris pointed me to (thanks again Kris). This involved uninstalling the old Adapted 2930 SCSI card driver and replacing it with the most recent driver downloaded from the Adaptec site. Well, I did

Re: Scanner software works in 10.3 but not 10.4--how come?

HiYa Tom, This may be a "stupid" question, but upon scanning through this thread a very straight forward solution is jumping out at me. That solution is to operate in 10.3 to use this scanner. The 'stupid' question is whether that overlooks anything seriously important to the functionality or '

Also a G4 or a G3 B&W hardly takes any space and RAM is inexpensive as are internal Hard drives. --- On Sun, 10/19/08, aussieshepsrock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: aussieshepsrock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Scanner software works in 10.3 but not 10.4--how come? To: &

Thanks Mel. It ain't a "stupid question" at all. Well, the thing is, I make videos with Final Cut that consist largely of pans and zooms on photos. I made one recently about art that showed a lot of paintings that were scanned from slides (you can see it on YouTube at ). Anyway, so these videos co

HiYa Tom, I would like to say that you have an excellent reason to want to be running your Video Editing software and the Scanner software on one machine and with-in the same OS. Efficient workflows are a good thing, a powerful thing! I can offer zero help in chasing down a scsi-to-usb solution
