Scanner compatibility check

[webkuh]

Just wanted to check that this scanner:

http://www.microtek.nl/Product.php?ThisPage=&Product=Detail&P_Id=88&

Will be fully compatible with a G5 running Panther? I assume the answer is yes, but then again, I assumed that my new G5 would be able to run Virtual PC...

It's compatible with Jaguar, so I would assume yes, but if you haven't bought it yet, check with the manufacturer to make sure.

It says 10.1.3 or higher, which should include Panther. The VPC issue has to do with processor differences between the G5 and pre-G5's, which is a different issue entirely. So try it; you should be fine.

Luckily I checked with the manufacture. They're working on a driver for 10.3 but at the moment it's not supported.

It all depends on the software you want to use I guess. My CannoScan 640U is "not supported" because it doesnt have the TWAIN drivers for Mac to let Image Capture or whatever it's called access it. Doesnt mean it doesnt work. I use VueScan normally, works like a charm.
