I have a Scanmaker 5, though I am not using it with OS X, it is supported by
VueScan. I use VueScan extensively with both OS 9 and OS X with a variety of
scanners including Scanmaker 5, Nikon Coolscan, Canon, etc. VueScan is
better than any manufacturer-supplied scanner driver. It allows many, many
orphaned scanners to be used with the latest generation of Mac hardware and
OS X. One warning: VueScan development is hyperactive. It is not uncommon
for Hamrick to release 2 new versions per week. I bet they average 50 new
releases per year. Shareware, no cost to upgrade, with a liberal license
that will allow a single user to install it on up to 5 computers.
