My PB 3400 seems to make a very low-level high-pitched "whine" when asleep. This is not present when shut down (w/ or w/o AC attached), or when running - only when asleep. The whin…

Can any one tell me if Sony's Firewire CD rw is compatible with Toast? Also if has anyone tried the Sony product could you tell me if you are having success with it? Thanx.

I have the Sony Firewire CDRW drive and Toast 4 (had it for roughly two weeks). Both work just fine together. I've thus far created a MacOS disk and ISO disk. You may see a warning…

Does it work with Retrospect as well?

kloda...when you purchased the firewire CD RW did you get Toast with it? If so where did you get it? -Mike

I received a response from Adaptec yesterday saying that Toast 4.0 does NOT support 1394 devices. I replied and said that someone was actually using toast with a sony 1394 CD RW a…

Most likely the "E" stands for EIDE. tooki

Has anyone seen a good review of all the new Firewire drives out right now?

The only version of Toast that I know of that supports FireWire CDR(W) drives is Toast 3.8.2. I got it with my drive which came from EZQuest (www.ezq.com). I'll have a review of t…

The VistaScan installer causes the Finder to "quit unexpectedly" before most of the software gets installed. This is true of the CD-installer, as well for the installer you can d/…

Try using MagicScan instead... it works very well with my old Umax 610 and I am told and have read that it works with your model... MagicScan is Umax's 'top of the line' scanner s…

Last I checked, it didn't work with USB scanners. I'd really like to knwo what's causign these Finder-quits....

MagicScan has been recently updated, you had best check it again...

No dice.....MagicScan's install forces the Finder to quit too.....a little later in the install, but still no good. Help!!! What's the problem?!

I believe there is a link on the webpage of umax referencing this problem to a lack of power going through the scanner. You might want to check the page and pull down the latest d…

Hello, I think I have some similar problem. When I try to install software that quits the finder in the beginning of the installation procedure (including Vistascan for my Astra 1…

I found that I couldn't install unless the OS 8 extensions were ON. I assume that the installer looks for ColorSync or something. I also found that if you're running the updater,…

my astra 610s worked great until I upgraded to MacOS9. I was running 8.6 and all was fine the only change was the OS. I am using magic scan 4.3 the latest version. The SCSI card…

I found that having the scanner switched on and warmed up during the installation, stopped the installer quitting to the finder. Dhanu

Make sure you have ColorSync installed before installing VistaScan. Solved the problem for me.

Try using Custom install instread of easy install - it works for me. Easy install quits the Finder. MacOS 8.6, Astra 610s

I've had endless probs over the years with UMAX scanner s/w installers--on top of which on a slow line (which I have no more!) it's a killer-lomg d/l. That's why I got an Agfa 1212…

If you use a UMAX 2000/2100U scanner, there is one file that it installs, which will immediately cause the system to crash: VS Control Strip (version 3.5.1). The fix is to remove t…

I just installed the DA, the TWAIN Driver and the MagicMatch Engine and it all installed. Did I really need the Magic Match Engine? This works for Magic Scan as well as Vista Sca…
