I have had problems with the Visioneer PapaerPort VX in OS 9 as the control panel does not load.With the Paperport Deluxe software, however, I have found that I can open the applic…

Unfortunately PaperPort Deluxe is not an option for me -- it requires the SCSI version of the Vx. I have the serial port version. I actually prefer using the serial port because I …

this is from MacInTouch: "able to get my Paperport vx to work by turning off the ATM control panel and then restarting"

OK, I was able to get something to work with my Strobe and Deluxe 5.1. First, launch PaperPort Desktop AND Paperport Link Bar. Second, holding down the option and command keys, d…

Turning off ATM didn't help for me; neither did holding down command and option when opening the PaperPort CDEV. I even tried doing a clean install of MacOS 9, followed by installi…

If you want to save your PaperPort from extinction as you move up to Mac OS 9 and beyond, you want to join or at least visit the PaperPort Preservation Society http://clubs.yahoo.c…

when I try to print I get a message that says the cartridge was not installed properly. Re-install cartridge correctly. I've re-installed the cartridge numberous times but can't p…

It may be that you have touched part of the cartridge that doesn't like to be touched... (reminds me of the old r'n r band, the Tubes, they had a song titled "Don't touch me there…

Has anyone tried or have the ORB drive by CastleWood. IS it worth getting? Thanks Garrett

I don't have one but there are mixed reports that I have read... and the driver(s) seem to be suspect... ORB has something like the Iomega Tools package that is suspect I have also…

I have installed an Orb external SCSI drive on my Mac G3/266, OS 9. The driver (Castlewood Orb Driver v1.0.1) was installed from the Orb install CD that came with the drive. I down…

Anyone using an ORB drive with MacOS 9: After talking to Castlewood tech support this afternoon I was told that the problem I described in the earlier post over the weekend is a…

I have an ORB SCSI external running MacOS 8.6. I have found the drive good, but Castlewood's software marginal. However, a product called Hard Disk SpeedTools (v.2.5.1, Intech Soft…

I have had terrible luck with my ORB, until now. After months of suspecting bad hardware, the recently introducted Orb Tools 1.2.6 fixed *ALL* of my problems. All versions before…

I see that quite a few vendors are now producing firewire CD-RW drives... sony, mactell (now distributed by someone else), Que, others. Does anyone have any buying advice? I am l…

Too bad none of them are actually shipping.. wait the sony one is.. but that's way too expensive and people like MAlan are having MUCHO difficulties with their lousy support. Mike

So maybe a SCSI card (already have one) and a SCSI drive are what's best for right now. -jb

Ok, I want a nice Firewire CD-R(W) for my B&W G3 and my sister's new grape iMac DV. I know there are several choices out there on the market: Sony Spressa (which people seem to…

The mactell firepower cd-rw IS shipping and a friend just got one. Its got no problems and i have a few new cd's because of it

Firewire is great, I've been trying out some Hard Drives and the ability to hot swap them is great. But I can warn you of this...attempting to make a cd off of a firewire HD to a …

FireWire CD-RW's? Still tricky... Everybody claims to have it, but nobody is realy shipping. And those who are shipping are not reliable or not so fast as they should be. I've rece…

Well I intend to buy a Yamaha 6416-based SCSI CD-RW drive from APS (the 6x4x16), and a Formac ProRAID I UW SCSI card for my blue and white G3. Even with the SCSI card, this comes o…

Has anyone purchased the USB Wacom Graphire yet? It came out on 10/31. I was wondering if there are any compatibilty issues with the new iMac models. $99 is not bad at all for a gr…

My school has iMacs and that same tablet (the art dep. just got it last week) i used it and there was no problems whatsoever and it was quite impressive.
