Mac OS 10.3.4 Scanner and Flash Drive problems

[John Richardson]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.3.4 from 10.3.3. After the upgrade 
my scanner drives no longer registered in Photoshop. I eventually 
downloaded Epson 10.3.3 drivers and using Image Ready I was able to 
get the TWAIN aplication to respond and scans complete.

I also started having problems with my Flash Drive. I started 
receiving "drive is full" messages during drag and drop copy 
operations, even though "get info" reported hundreds of megabytes of 
disk space available. Disk Utility would not erase the disk giving me 
an unmount error. I finally was able to partition the disk but the 
same disk full errors occured. The flash drive was in MS_DOS format 
for PC compatibility. I eventually partitioned the drive under Jaguar.

Are these known problems? Is 10.3.4 stable?

Is the solution to re-install Panther from scratch and then only 
upgrade to 10.3.3?
