Connecting old Agfa Duoscan T1200 scanner with SCSCI to MacBook with USB?

Hi All,

Im a photographer in Patagonia. I urgently need to scan my film BUT cannot afford a new
medium format scanner.

On the Argentine equivalent of 'ebay' there is an old Agfa Duoscan T1200 going for $400 ARG Pesos/ $132 US Dollars/ £66 GBP. Its still alot to pay but in its day it was a very good scanner (for medium format and large format film scanning).
Im aware that I might have to download software to make it work BUT can anyone tell me if they've done this AND if there's a "SCSCI to USB adapter" thats possible to buy.

Also IF anyone HAS managed to make this scanner work with a MacBook or the latest Macs...what software did you use please? (Im running 10.4.11)

ALL help apprreciated.
Thanks

Dude en BA

You are discussing just what I am dealing with about a friend. Just an early answer, is that there are SCSI-USB adaptors, costing about US$70,- to US$130,- here in USA. Have yet to find if this AGFA is supported in OSX. Can work with OS9 (Classic), will have to check if what software can be downloaded.
You are thinking of doing what I am working on my friend to get away from. Moving everything off his 10 year OS9, past his 5 year OSX to his 2.5 year OSX! Your avenue a possible but, but possibly not worth it.

Best wishes
