Since MagicScan and VistaScan fail THE SAME WAY as I noted above, I'll reiterate what worked for me: " I just installed the DA, the TWAIN Driver and the MagicMatch Engine and it a…

sorry that i wasn't complete in my reading of the thread... Graphic Converter does have TWAIN acquisition now, but i have not used it

I understand PaperPort doesn't work with Mac OS 9. Is there any other software that works with it? The scanners are still very useful, and although I'll have to get a SCSI to USB…

Has Visioneer indicated they will not have an update to their Paperport driver that supports Mac OS 9? That would be unacceptable, and pretty foolish of them, since a Mac and a Pa…

I have been using a PaperPort Vx for years, it is the easyest way to scan documents into my computer, but i also have a flatbed for books and such, and i can't beleve that they won…

I have the older PaperPort Vx -- the one that uses the serial port rather than SCSI. I actually prefer the serial port, since I'm using the Vx with my PowerBook; SCSI would require…

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…

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.

I bought one just the other day, I like it a lot. However, the current driver (v4.40) does not seem to work with OS9, they have a beta (v4.50) posted on their web site, which work…

Another question about Firewire vs USB CDR drives: As I understand it, USB drives have problems writing audio CDs at anything but 2x speed. Is this problem addressed in a Firewire …

hi, the thing that limits usb burners is the 12 megabit speed of usb. since firewire (ieee 1394) is 400 megabit, it's not a problem. you can record just as fast as an ide or scsi b…
