I just purchased an internal CD-RW (Yamaha CRW6416s) drive. I'm running a 7600/120 mac - I've got everything hooked up but now it seems to be giving me hang-ups on startups and whe…

be sure to have the Apple CD extention disabled. You won't need it with the 3rd party drive, and the Toast software will be redundant.

I also have the same problem with my internal 6416. Freezes within minutes of startup. I don't even have to do anything with the cd, though, for it to freeze. I've used CD Speed…

Gabe: Using Conflict Catcher, I found out that the reason it was crashing was due to a corrupt font suitcase. You may want to check this out. Also, I've heard that there is an u…

Just to help on one issue: No semi-modern Mac has a SCSI bus, technically. They all have a SCSI-2, Fast SCSI-2, Fast & Wide SCSI -2, Ultra SCSI-3, etc. bus. SCSI has gone throu…

Anyone know off the top of their head what flavour of SCSI is in the Rev. A G3 DT? ------------------ "No Brian! Those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those! I never se…

I just bought an EXTERNAL 6416 Yamaha CDRW. It has a very bad scsi problem with macos 8.6.Toast 3.5.7 crashes when attempting to access the cdrw, and the extension Toast reader cra…

Hi, me again... I fixed my problem... I turned my internal CDRW drive into a EXTERNAL device. This seems to work without any problems. It turns out that my internal SCSI has a ter…

I have a B/W PowerMac G3 with a Global Village Internal 56k modem. I notice that whenever I use Remote Access to make a PPP connection with the modem, I get this very annoying spea…

I was wondering if anyone knew what price 7.6 debuted at, or what price it carried in the first quarter of 1997. Thanks.

Can anyone suggest to me a good video cam (quick cam?) for an iMac. I would like to run a web cam off my server (I am using Quid pro Quo) but am new to this. Also- silly question…

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
