I have a Pismo g3 400 laptop (I know I know it's old) and recently installed Panther. It's a bit slow, but otherwise works great. Unfortunately, it instantly made my scanner obsolete--it's an AGFA studiostar (it's old as well) and AGFA doesn't support OS X for it. I had been planning on buying a new scanner anyway and wondered if people could recommend a good flatbed scanner in the $200 or less range that works well and works with Panther. Thanks!

Epson 3170 is a good one. Can be had for around $200 too.

Depending on what quality you want, I got a Canon LiDE 20 for $50 that works amazingly well in Panther. The LiDE 30 is around $70 and has a bit more quality. It's 600x1200dpi, not sure how that compares to your old AGFA scanner, or if you're looking for higher end. I just know this little $50 Canon blew away my old $150 HP it replaced.

Instead of buying a new scanner, you should just keep using your old one
