How to Run a SCSI Scanner with Firewire In OS X?

Does anyone know how to run a SCSI scanner with Firewire in Mavericks?
I have unsuccessfully tried the RATOC FR1SX SCSI-to-Firewire converter. The Ratoc is recognized as a Firewire device in the System Profiler (see pic below). However, the VueScan scanning software does not recognize the scanner.  I know the scanner works because I have been using it in an old HP PC. As such I  installled Windows 7 64 bit via Boot Camp to see if I could use the scanner, but had no luck.
I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010.
ANY HELP?

The Mac scanner driver is not seeing it as a native SCSI device assuming VueScan supports the model of scanner you have. (You did not list the scanner model.)
Other than getting a modern non-SCSI scanner, a possible option would be to get a Thunderbolt PCI expansion chassis and a 'real' SCSI interface card. There is no guarantee this will work though as SCSI has been discontinued in the Mac world for years and years. If you then want to look at a SCSI card for use with the expansion chassis then look at the following.
Hmm, just looked the AttoTech SCSI cards have been discontinued as well, as I said SCSI is ancient history in the Mac world.

  • I need to run a old scanner with my macbook pro

    Hi
    I just got an old Imacon Photo scanner, which uses the software "flexcolor 4.0.4 mac". The latest mac OS the software is compatible with would be 10.5.x (leopard).
    I was wondering, how I could get the scanner going with my set-up:
    My primary mac is a macbook pro (10.9.4), which is way to modern for the mentioned software. When buying the scanner it came with a mac g4 tower, which has an OS (10.4.11) that is able to run the software. I have no screen for the tower, though.
    I was thinking about the following solutions:
    1. Get parallels on my macbook pro, and then run the software with leopard. The tricky part is the fact that the only connection to the scanner is with a scsi cabel, and there is no scsi card in my macbook pro.
    2. Use the mac g4 tower with the scanner (which works), and then use the macbook pro as a monitor, if that is possible?
    3. The easy solution, buy a screen for the mac g4 tower, and only run the scanner through that. (but it is slow)
    about the software:
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X vers.10.2.1 to 10.5.x (Leopard) is supported.
    Compatibility
    FlexColor 4.0.4 does not support SCSI on Intel based Macs.
    Make sure before upgrading to OS 10.5 ( Leopard ), that your SCSI card is supported under this OS.
    This and future version(s) will not offer support for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    link: (link)
    thanks,
    Deniz Gül

    OK, missed the SCSI requirement - go tohttps://www.google.com/#q=scsi+to+usb+adapter and look at the SCSI to USB adapter cables to connect the scanner to the Mac.

  • New to Mac.  How to use legacy SCSI devices with MBPro?

    If I have, say... an older external SCSI tape drive, how could I make it work with my new MBPro?

    *My (PC formatted) iPod is set to manual sync already, but will my new Mac know that when I first connect it*
    Yes it will, the iPod retains it setting no matter what computer it is connected to.
    *The version of iTunes on my Mac is the newest but there's a slightly older version on the iPod. Is this a problem?*
    You don't have any version of iTunes on your iPod it has it's own software, you only have iTunes on the computer.
    *How can I save the music and video on my Mac while I import my iPod's contents? (Where do I move the file? How do I prevent multiple copies of everything*
    You don't need to do anything with the music that is on your iPod, you can select what content you want Senuti to copy back so there's no reason you should get duplicates.
    *Will photos and games on iPod transfer too?*
    I don't believe Senuti will transfer games, if they were purchased from iTunes the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    Senuti will not transfer Photos. There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

    String path = System.getenv("MuSatSolver");
    String[] cmdarray = {"cmd.exe","/C",path+"XPathOverlap.bat", loc1, loc2};

    BufferedReader brErr = new BufferedReader(isrErr);
    String line2 = null;
    while((line2=brErr.readLine())!=null){
         System.out.println("Error: "+line2);
    but now i have another problem, this is the output:
    Exit Value: 0
    Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: fr/inrialpes/wam/treelogic/_xml/XPathOverlap
    Error: Exception in thread "main" The Exit value is 0, so the process terminates normally.
    I have tested this bat file in cmd and there it works correctly.
    Why do i get this error message?

  • How to Run a Cost Estimate with Budgeted Values parallel to the Std Cost Estiamte

    Hi Experts,
    My client want to run a parallel cost estimate with Budgeted values for each type of cost in a similar process like standard cost estimate(currently only Std business run only the std. cost estimate). Below will be provided to run the said cost estimate.
         1. Budgeted Cost for cost elements against each cost center
         2. Re-posting/distribution will be required run to allocate and apportion the cost from service cost centers to Production cost centers
         3. All Planned(future) Material Cost will be provided. (note that the valuation strategy of costing variant of standard cost estimate has below sequence
         4. Budgeted activity quantities will be provided. (Cost and activity qty for Kp06 and Kp26)
    Based on the above data business need to run a cost estimate with budgeted values parallel to the standard cost estimate(based on planned values), which will be compared with actual then Budget at each months.
    Simply an alternative cost estimate with budgeted values for a given period for all materials.
    Kindly advice the possibility of such a cost estimate in the system and if possible pls. mentioned the Process in order and configuration steps for the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    Aziz

    Hi..
    You can define costing variants which have valuation variant for budgeted values parallel to the standard cost estimate  in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling.
    You can define target cost versions using above costing variants under the customizing transaction OKV6 as below picture.
    When you calculate variances, you can check “all target cost version” flag to calculate variances  for all target cost versions in the controlling area as below picture.
    You can analysis the difference between actual cost and several budget cost using target cost version as below picture.

  • How to run webi report automatically with the current date/system date in webi report

    Hi Friends,
    I have a webi report which has a date prompt now. Based on the selection that user makes while running a report, he will get the related data for that particular date selection. Now I want to make that date prompt automated that is the report should run automatically based on the system date daily on scheduling.
    I want it to run current day automatically without have to go in and pick the date in webi report. I will be scheduling the webi report. Can you please let me know how to achieve this functionality of running a webi report automatically with a system date.
    Please let me know if I couldn't make you understand so that I will write with an example.
    Waiting for your valuable solutions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

    Hello Bhasakar,
    1.Create sysdate object in the universe
    2.Create another query in webi and select only sysdate object
    3.In the original query drag the Day object in the filter pane and choose the "List of values" from another query.and select the sysdate object from the second query.
    So your report always will run for sysdate...

  • How to run the APD programmatically with different query variables

    Hi All
    I have a requirement to run a APD with a query in it programmatically on a series of posting periods from 1 to 10 I want to run the APD once for each posting period.
    Any idea how I can do this.
    Thanks
    Karen

    Karen,
    Create a variable on posting period in the query.
    in tcode RSRT, choose the query name , here you have the option of creating query variants. create different variants and save it.
    In APD, when you choose the query, you have the option of choosing query variant, choose the variant you created in rsrt.
    You can automate by including the APD with different query variants in a PC.

  • How to Use VuPoint Wand Scanner with Photoshop?

    I have recently purchased a VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner. I would like to be able to use my Photoshop program with these scans. I can locate the images, open them in Photoshop, make adjustments to them, but I cannot figure out how and where to save them for export to a website. I am 58 years old, and the advancements in technology have left me a bit confused about what to do next. The SD card will not let me "save" the changes made to the image. So, how and where do I go from here?

    I'm not experienced with Windows 7, so for more detailed directions (including videos) on that stage of the process, I recommed this web page: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows/explore/photos
    Once your scans are on your computer, you can start Photoshop, click on the word "File" on the top menu, and mouse down to the word "Open". The Open dialog will appear. In that dialog, you can navigate to the location where you stored your scans (the Picture library, for example). Once you've found it, click on one of your scanned images and click the "Open" button in the Open dialog.
    At this point, you can make any adjustments in Photoshop that you wish. When you've finished, click on the word "File" on the top menu, and mouse down to the word "Save". You can save the edited image with the same name, or you can change the name.
    One more thing: 58 is not old! ;-)

  • Dis51usr.exe: How to run a multisheet report with different parameter?

    Hi,
    I have a report ( say 1.dis) with 2 sheets ( X and Y ). X has the parameter
    District and Y has the parameter Division. While I saved the report, the sheet X was opened . ( That means I run the report X from Desktop and save the report )
    Now I execute the following command to run the X .
    C:\Dis10gDesktop\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect <user id>/<password>@connectstring /apps_user
    /apps_responsibility "test_Resp" /open "C:\Test\1.DIS" /sheet "X" /parameter "District"
    "ABC" /export xls C:\Test\DIS_REPORT_OUTPUT_X.xls /BATCH
    It is successfully run and gives the output file.
    Now I execute the following command to run the Y.
    C:\Dis10gDesktop\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect <user id>/<password>@connectstring /apps_user
    /apps_responsibility "test_Resp" /open "C:\Test\1.DIS" /sheet "Y" /parameter "Division"
    "DEF" /export xls C:\Test\DIS_REPORT_OUTPUT_Y.xls /BATCH
    It is showing the error
    District: Unresolved parameter.
    If I save the report while the sheet Y is opened , then the second command is running fine,
    but the first one is showing the error
    Division: Unresolved parameter.
    It looks the command can not move to other sheet . How can I resolve it ?
    Please help.

    Hi
    Just had an idea. Try removing the double quotes from around the parameter value. Even though it is a string you don't need to provide quotes in the command line. Therefore try again like this:
    C:\Dis10gDesktop\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect <user id>/<password>@connectstring /apps_user
    /apps_responsibility "test_Resp" /open "C:\Test\1.DIS" /sheet "X" /parameter "District"
    ABC /export xls C:\Test\DIS_REPORT_OUTPUT_X.xls /BATCH
    and this:
    C:\Dis10gDesktop\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect <user id>/<password>@connectstring /apps_user
    /apps_responsibility "test_Resp" /open "C:\Test\1.DIS" /sheet "Y" /parameter "Division"
    DEF /export xls C:\Test\DIS_REPORT_OUTPUT_Y.xls /BATCH
    You also may not need the double quotes around the sheet and parameter names. Typically these are only used when there is a space in the name
    As an FYI, if you need to put quotes around a parameter value try using single quotes instead of double quotes and as a tip if you are passing multiple values to a parameter they should be passed with a comma between them and no space either before or after the comma.
    Do you have a copy of my Oracle Press book called Oracle Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, please take a look at pages 503 to 509. If you don't have it I'd strongly recommend doing so as it contains over 1,000 pages of information. You can get it at amazon and can find out more about it on my website here: http://ascbi.com/10g-handbook.htm

  • How to connect an external harddrive with firewire 800 to a macbook with firewire 400?

    Hello,
    I just got the external harddrive "Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB 3.0 1TB" with a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Kabel FireWire 800. I have neither a USB 3.0, nor a Firewire 800 on my white macbook (2008). I already know, that it's possible to use USB 3.0 with an USB 2.0 port, but I would like to use it with the firewire to spare the USB port for other devices. My question: Is there an adapter or cable to use the Seagate Firewire 800 with my Firewire 400 port? I don't know, where and what to look for.
    I'm glad for any advice.

    There are many adaptors, try here

  • How to run at a frequency with labview under linux....

    hello i have a probleme with the "wait" VI that's seems to not works...if fact if the "wait"vi is under 2ms the program is running at a very high frequency (about 1000 hz) and over the program is running at 50 hz ...
    is there anyway to have a better control of my frequency...
    thanks
    juju

    thanks Isabelle for your reply...
    j'ai beau changé le VI pour controller le temps, mais cela n'arrange rien. je ne sais pas si en anglais je suis tres clair... en fait ... si je ne ne controlle pas le temps avec un VI style wait ou wait *ms, ou bien encore la boite de dialogue la frequence est de 250 Hz....
    et si je met un vi pour controller le temps (quel qu'il soient d'ailleurs)la frequence reste tout le temps stable a 50 Hz (malgré bien sur le fait de changer l'entrée sur le VI...).
    ce que je comprend vraiment pas se trouve resumer ici...Pourquoi n'ya t'il pas de progression possible entre ces deux frequences. est-ce par ce que le VI time consomme tellement de ressource (???)...
    j'ai lu (vaguement) sur le forum qu'on pouvait allouer une importance dans le traitement des 5 programmes que generes labview... je ne sait pas si mon probleme vient de la sachant que labview consomme peu en ressources (+- 5% ressources utilisateurs...).
    j'ai aussi tenter de modifier les parametres VI Properties--> execution... mais le probleme persiste...
    je travaille avec la version 7.0 installé a partir du CD grace aux RPM sous une mandrake 9.2...
    si quelqu'un a connu les memes deboire que moi qu'il me contacte....lol
    a+ merci
