ahh... makes sense, so u wanna turn it into a scanning station. os9 is perfect for that, and it doesn't take too much room. i remember way back when, when i was into extensions and such that i pared down my base install to something like around 110MB. i mean, compare that with the 1.6GB base for OSX. jeez.
anyways, ebay is ur best bet. in fact, i would even say that you should snag one of those Umax s900 on ebay right now, just because, you'll get an extra hard drive, probably the orginal 2GB scsi, an extra Apple scsi CD rom, luckly a zip (how ya gonna transfer those scans) and of course RAM. i think i've seen them go for $40 without shipping. that's what i'd do. u'll need the ram if all you have is something minimal. and an extra video card. it's all worthless unless u need it. the umax box inself in terms of value is dead dead dead, but the components for scavenging are great. or if you're lucky you'll get one of those $1-$5 apple SCSI drives cause basically, nobody wants em. lucky for u. of course, they'll flay u on the shipping. just type in those keywords and u'll find what u need. anyways, what kind of scanning are u doing? i think those USB scanners are incredibly cheap nowadays. what are they? $50? i mean, the money u spend on that old umax can buy new stuff. unless ur doing high-end print design where u'll need the resolution and the ability to pick up the shadows and highlight areas, and sharpness, i think any consumer grade scanner will do. and they're cheap. and usb is very portable. and mac/windows compatible too. and macintel as well. haha --- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I guess your gonna really hate me but where would be > the best place to find > an apple branded scsi drive?? > > How small are we talking I mainly want to use it for > scanning as I have a > scsi scanner but don't want to fork out for a scsi > adaptor for my ibook G4 > as ive looked into them and if I can get this umax > working the scanners a > good one old but damn good, came from a designer. > > Brian > > > On 11/6/05 9:47 pm, "Krow Magnum" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 6/11/05, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> Oops sorry my bad I miss read the whole email > there lol thanks for the links > >> would it be cheaper to just buy a hard drive for > it or get the controller > >> card?? > >> > >> Brian > >> > > > > I would find an Apple branded SCSI drive to get > the Umax working first > > and the small SCSI drives sell for about $10.00 or > less.
