Umax Powerlook 2100XL
Hi,
At my office there's a Umax Powerlook 2100XL that worked for awhile, then with this new computer - iMac6,1 running OS X 10.4.9 - had problems.
Upon researching I see that Umax is one brand to stay away from, especially when using macs and people are disgusted with them etc etc...but I have one here and if I can get it to work it would make things much easier...a new scanner might be necessary, but I'd like to try make this one work before doing that.
The previous graphics artist (who I replaced) had tried getting it to work, and had obtained a Firewire-ultra SCSI converter.
What do I need to make it work? I've been looking up drivers for it and think that SilverFast SE (Umax) - 6.5r6 might work. I just can't get the demo to download without verification failing and an invalid checksum.
the quesiton is...is this what I need to make this scanner work?
If so then I can try sort out all the issues arising from trying to download the file as mentioned above. If not, well they still need to be fixed, but I will forget about downloading that specific file.
any help would be appreciated
thanks
