The original Apple Scanner and the Apple OneScanner are monochrome scanners that work beautifully with System 6. I can't remember their resolutions at the moment (I think 300dpi max), but the main difference between them is the OneScanner can do 8-bit (256 greys) and the Scanner's max is 4-bit (16 greys). The software (called Apple Scan) and drivers are readily available at Apple's ftp site, and there's even a third party plug-in for Photoshop called Plug-One (acquire is not available when running System 6). > An early version (1?) of photoshop.

Marten (System 6 Heaven) lists Photoshop 3 as being System 6 compatible, but I haven't gotten it to work. I think 2.5 is the highest version that will run. System 6 will run Streamline 3.0 and Illustrator 5 as well. > Now, if you have any ideas or goodies, I need a scanner that will work, > early hotoshop software and I like to be a bit portable, so maybe a > PB100. Try eBay, land of the gouge. I've seen the old scanners for cheap, and Photoshop 2.5 is not eligible for the upgrade pricing stuff, so it doesn't go for much on eBay either. Yes, I want a PowerBook 100 too, but they seem to be increasing in rarity/price. If you can live without MultiFinder/Desktop Manager, bump the i/30 CD up to 32MB of RAM and try Optima32 from Gamba's site. I've found it helps enormously with Photoshop performance (version 1.07 swaps endlessly running in 8MB of RAM). I hope this helps.
