[filmscanners] Re: SCSI support on a Mac Pro
I've been using a Belkin F5U541 SCSI <-> Firewire converter with a
Polaroid SS4000 on a Mac G5 (10.4.11) using VueScan. Works pretty
well but does hang up sometimes requiring a restart. Don't know about
using it under Leopard, though.
Regards,
Roger Smith
