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

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 believe that someone was selling an adapter that went from Stylewriter to Ethernet. I'll look for it, just wanted you to know that it was possible... I found it! Farallon makes…

I have set up two original imac's to use Stylewriter II printers using Keyspan's USB to serial adaptors. If you're crunched for desktop space, the stylewriters can do very nicely, …

If you still have an old serial port Mac, connect the Stylewriter to the old Mac, and the two Macs together by ethernet. I did this with an iMac, and LC and a Stylewriter II. Works…

Hey SteveH, Your suggestion sounds like the best option for me. I have a Performa 430 which is based on an LC II. Can you tell me how to connect it to my new iMac as you have done …

you'd need an ethernet card for that 430, it has no enet built-in... PDS comm slot enet card, farallon makes a 10/BaseT for about $60-70 new, maybe you can find one used... then a…

Wow. I LOVED my old StyleWriter II. When I sold my G3 beige minitower and bought a B&W G3 I sold my SWII and got a Epson 740i -- and I LOVE IT MORE! Really, you're doing yours…

as noted on MacNN yesterday (in the sony announcement) , they are not due until November. see http://www.macnn.com/recent.shtml

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…

First you must determine whether it is the drive or the fan that is making the noise: if it is the former, putting the drive to sleep will help, if it is the latter, then you might…
