[G4] SCSI adapter for scanner and running on OSX

[Richard Northouse]

You can probably purchase a new scanner, which will have an USB interface,
for about the same as a SCSI interface.  And have fewer problems -- and
probably a better scanner!!!

My two bits worth.

I have in my QS running 10.4.4 a pci card Adapted ADPT,2930CU which  
has never given a single problem, I have attach to it an Umax s6e  
driven by Vuescan. I think you can get that card relatively cheap now.
On the other hand, one of my friends has a G4 that had that card and  
worked ok with the Apple processor, then he put a upgraded processor  
and had to remove the card because it made the  computer unstable.

Then round his hook the chosen fur he winds,
And on the back a speckled feather binds;
So just the colours shine through ev'ry part,
That nature seems to live again in art.
