[G4] OS X (Panther) drivers for Epson Expression 636 Pro scanner?

[k s d]

I think the point is that the 636 is a very old/obsolete piece of equipment 
and I can't see the point of dumping $80 into a solution to make it work.
Steve: providing you have the cash, do yourself a huge favor and "deep six" 
the 636 and the scsi card that's connecting it to your machine... Get the 
4870... you will love it.
I have a Perfection 2450 photo am completely satisfied w/it... (Although it 
would be nice to have the money to upgrade to the 4870. :)
