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…

ouch man that sucks!! i got the same system and the same scanner and it worked for me with no problem. i do occasionaly have problems with scanning though...

So, the scanner software bites, great, is there any other scanner software that is written for the mac that I can use on my umax 1220?

I have had zero trouble with MagicScan as I said previously. There are reports that other have had success with it and your scanner model. see versiontracker for the most recent M…

I also have a Umax 1200S that is incompatable w/ my G4 as well as my G3. VistaScammmm is a nightmare! I'm very close to trashing the scanner & more importantly the software aft…

have you tried Umax's MagicScan instead? see above post(s) re: MagicScan

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 …
