SCSI Scanner on PowerMac G5 with Leopard

Hi all,
I have an old high-end SCSI scanner (AgfaScan XY-15) that I would like to use with my PowerMac G5 and OSX 10.5.8. In the past, I used a G4 MDD that could dual-boot OS 9 and OS X 10.3. The G4 had an Adapted card (29160 IIRC), the G5 an Atto (UL5D).
To have the scanner work with OS X 10.3, I had to replace IOSCSIArchitectureModelFamily.kext and IOSCSIParallelFamily.kext (in /System/Library/Extensions) by their OS X 10.2 versions (something Agfa recommended for their mid-range scanner, on a page that can now only be found in archives : http://web.archive.org/web/20050306100359/http://www.agfa.com/digicam_scanner_dr ivers/faq/#faq22a)
On Leopard, I can see the scanner in the ATTO configuration tool, but the scanner sofware always outputs a "scanner not found" error. This scanner cannot be used with VueScan, so the solution suggested on Using SCSI Scanner with 10.5 possible? is not applicable.
I have tried changing parameters (for instance disabling LUNs for ID 4 - the scanner - as shown below, which results in the scanner only appearing once in the list of devices), but I cannot seem to find the good combination of parameters.
Does someone with experience in SCSI scanners have some tips?
Thanks in advance for the help!

The last device on the chain must have termination turned on.      If it is, then I don't know what to say other than to try some of the other scanner drivers on my subscription site*:

  • Canon MP830 scanner does not work with Leopard

    Hi,
    I have a Canon MP830. The printer function works fine but the scanner function does not work anymore since I've installed Leopard. From time to time it seems to work, randomly, ... but most of the time, if I use the MP830 navigator software and try to scan in a batch (from the tray), I get an error message saying "Het scannen is mislukt" (dutch for: Scanning process failed).
    I hope that Apple and/or Canon are working on updated drivers because this is quite annoying... Plenty of fancy features in Leopard, but the easy, all-day features don't work
    This is maybe not the right place to mention this comment but:
    After I've installed iCal, it crashes everytime (randomly) when i click on the details of a calendar item... and generates an error message report... I can imagine I am not the only one who has this problem. Never had this before when using Tiger.
    Regards,
    F.

    Actually, Canon has been providing various updates throughout the month of November. Go to www.canonusa.com, place your cursor over "downloads" and when a drop down menu is presented, click on "consumer." You might have to be patient, the site has been slow lately. Anyway, click on the pull downs in the middle of the page to select your printer. When the next page is presented, select MAC OS X from the pull down menu and you'll see the drivers and updated applications.
    Over the weekend, I purchased an MP610. After performing the installation of files from the CD, I then downloaded and installed drivers and applications and the printer seems to work just fine, to include scanning, copying, etc.
    Hope this helps,
    Jimmy

  • 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.

  • Using a Scanner with Leopard

    Hi all,
    I used to use a Canon app to access my Scanner however after changing to Leopard I'm no longer able to do this, can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to use my Scanner?

    I was so upset to read my trusty Canon N1220U Scanner was Not Supported? Jeeze! You mean I have to go spend another fortune on new Scanner? Well I just fired up trusty old VueScan I d/led from Versiontracker and Bless my stars and garters!! It works Great!! Way better than the old Cannon Software as you don't need Photoshop or anything, Its a stand alone program and Its actually pretty robust and automatic as well. I pressed a few buttons It automatically calibrated the unit with no intervention and then scanned my Holiday Letter so we can send out 70 copies No Problem! Good News Folks..
    Happy Holidays to All

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • SCSI Bus doesn't work with OS 10

    I recently upgraded my G3 Desktop with a Sonnet G4/500 ZIF Upgrade, a 120 GB Hard Drive and System 10.2.8. I partitioned the drive into three partitions, two less than 8 GB and the third with the remaining. I have been able to install OS 10 and it appears to be working OK, but I can't access my SCSI ZIP Drive or scanner, even when running in classic mode. If I reboot into system 9.2.2, everything works fine. When I run Apple System Profiler, the SCSI chain does not show up. I have the SCSI Chain terminated using the internal terminator on the ZIP Drive. I have also noticed that my USB printer will not print in classic mode, but operates normally (but slow) in OS 10. Is this a common problem? I have gone through several pages of postings and have not seen anyone else with this particular problem.
    G3 Desktop w/ZIF G4-500 Upgrade   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   348 MB Ram

    My ZIP drive is a 250. I think I can find an active terminator, so I will try that. As far as turning on the SCSI devices, they come on with the power strip before I boot the computer.
    My first hard drive partition, which is where I installed OS 10, has plenty of room. I have only installed items which came on the OS 10 install disk in that partition. I have installed OS9 on the second partition along with most of the applications I use (most are system 9 applications at this point). I have ordered more RAM for the machine, which hopefully will make the printer faster.
    Thanks for the feedback. I will respond with the results.

  • PowerMac G4 and Leopard?

    I heard Leopard needs at least 867 Mhz to run with a G4 processor but will a PowerMac G4 with 2 PowerPC G4 processors work? One processor is 450 Mhz and the other is 450 Mhz so total that 900 Mhz so will it work?

    Yes, but slowly.
    The installer will actually install on something less than 867MHz if it is a dual? For example, I have a dual 800 which falls slightly below the 867 mark but not according to you if it is a dual. I'm not rushing out to buy Leopard but Apple doesn't mention dual processor machines on the Leopard spec. page and it might be handy to have a triple booting computer (OS9 native/Tiger/Leopard).
    I know that people have been bypassing the formal install procedure as a challenge to get it to run on old machines but that's another matter.

  • Canon LiDE35 scanner won't work with latest CanoScan software

    I upgraded my MacBook Core Duo (2006) to Snow Leopard this weekend. All fine except even after loading the latest Canon Driver (lide35osx7721en.dmg) and restarting, then using CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.3 -- I get the message "Can't find Driver".
    If I go back to 4.5.1.2 version of CanoScan - it works OK! But the 5.0.1.3 software is easier to set, gives lots of choices - it should work, right? Has anyone tried this or can anyone comment. (I never got 5.0.1.2 nor 5.0.1.3 to work with Leopard either - but hadn't updated the DRIVER - now I have but it still can't "Find" the driver!)
    Thanks for any comments here - at least I can scan - and sure, maybe I could update this 5 year old scanner - but it works great!
    Best regards,

    Hi Steve,
    The Canon Australia web site is only showing v4.5.1.2 of CanoScan Toolbox for the LiDE35 (same version for Windows and Mac). There is no mention of v5.0.1.3 being supported by this model so this could explain the application is unable to locate it. The applications typically have a built-in list of support devices and if the 35 is not in this list then it won't work. Again with reference to the Canon web site, the LiDE 600F and 70 show v5.0.1.4 of CanoScan Toolbox. Later models, such as the LiDE 100 and 200 released last year, don't use the Toolbox application. Instead they work with MP Navigator or OS X apps like Preview.

  • Lost OS 9 with Leopard

    Oh no! Isn't there a help line for those contemplating the dark side? LOL! Just kidding BDAqua.
    Actually, I've used a 24" Al iMac (OS X Tiger) that my friend bought in August and it is a really nice machine. He still has his Sawtooth G4 to do all his OS 9 apps and a few other things like scanning (i.e., he encountered a few problems with Intel Mac and older, 3rd party, OS X software; one of the problems is his Epson Perfection Photo Scanner won't work with his Al iMac even with the latest Epson updates). Overall, his jump to the Al iMac was positive, but not impressive enough to make him junk his upgraded Sawtooth G4.

    There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg

  • Scsi Scanner on a Beige G3 running osx 10.3.9

    I have a Umax 1220s scsi scanner attached to my beige G3 onto which I have loaded 10.3.9 - if I restart in os9.2 the scanner is recognised - however os 10.3.9 System profiler says 'no information' for the scsi. Is this a surmountable problem as the scanner is still pretty good and I don't really want to keep swapping OSs just to scan things.

    Probably not. I used to have a LinoType Circon SCSI scanner that did the same thing. Worked fine booted to OS 9 (on the G4 I had at the time), but was invisible to OS 9 as Classic within OS X. This is mostly due to OS 9 running in a shell. Only one OS can have direct access to the hardware at a time. So while in OS X, all calls to hardware have to pass through OS X. This is fine for a lot of items such as printers, but scanning software for SCSI devices tend to want to talk directly to the SCSI controller/scanner. They can't do that through the software layer of OS X which is controlling communication with the SCSI card. Hence, the software can't find the scanner.
    In addition to VueScan, you may also want to give SilverFast a look for OS X native scanning software that will work with your scanner.

  • What's wrong with Leopard mail, its allowed in, something corrupting my mac

    Hi,
    I recently bought a brand new 24 inch iMac and Leopard. Most things were fine until I received an unsolicited email on 28th Nov ...from a
    Gemma Hindley FW; Compost like a pro
    since then mail has gone haywire. I cannot delete this email at all. I cant receive any emails and I work from home and am really desperate as this is causing me major stress.
    The waste paper icon has gone from my mail window and although emails are deleted from the working window, the dont go in the waste bin or the waste bin in the dock.When I quit ad reopen Gemma Hindley reappears.
    Many times a completely different window appears when I open mail one that I have never seen before and is very difficult to navigate. many of the icons in the mail header bar are non operative with this window.
    Other times Mail wont open, or wont quit, or cant send emails, have nt received any since Gemma this email. Then I went through this forum and found that if I
    Open mail go to prefs general and switch check mail "manually.
    Force quit mail
    Open Mail again go to prefs junk mail and turn off spam filtering
    This then allowed me to open the usual mail working window and I received that infuriating email again and no other ones at all. I have sent myself emails and so have others but they have not been received by me at all. the above steps allowed me to send emails.
    There is obviously a problem with Leopard mail. Whether or not this email has corrupted my mac I don't know. It looks like it is blocking all my incoming emails.
    I am not as adept as many of you on this forum, just a simple user trying to earn a living and not able to do so at present. Help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance. George UK

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • Constant lock ups with Leopard!

    I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
    Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
    I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
    As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!

    Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Installing Tiger on a Macbook Pro that came only with Leopard

    Hi guys,
    Any ideas on how to install Tiger onto a Macbook Pro that came preloaded with Leopard, and only has a Leopard disc?
    I've got a refurbished Macbook Pro recently. Realised that one of my application doesn't work, Capture One Pro. Visited Phase One's website and they said it only supports 3.9 and above at the time it was released, which makes it 10.4.10.
    Systems in the story below: Macbook Pro Core Cuo. Macbook Pro C2D (new set), Mac Pro, iMac Core 2 Duo
    Here's what I've tried
    1. I've an original disk that came with my MBP CD. When I try to boot from that disk on my MBP C2D, it gives me the crash screen -> "please hold the power for secs to restart".
    2. I've tried installing Tiger onto my iMac and did a harddisk clone via Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to my MBP CD. Tiger was able to run on my MBP CD fine.
    3. Then I tried using CCC to clone it over to my MBP C2D. It doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
    4. I've tried installing Tiger on my Mac Pro. Used CCC to clone over the disk image to MBP C2D. Doesn't work too. Crash screen.
    5. Created disk images of Tiger with Disk Utility on iMac, Mac Pro. Tried to restore using the iMac, Mac Pro disk images of Tiger. Doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
    6. Updated Tiger to 10.4.11 on my Mac Pro. Created disk image using Disk Utility. Restored MBP C2D with it. Crash screen on load.
    I'm out of ideas and Apple Support won't open until Monday.
    It seems that this MBP C2D is set on not installing Tiger, no matter what. Wonder if getting hold of a Tiger retail disc will do the trick?

    You can install tiger onto a MacBook Pro up to version 3,1.
    Run System Profiler and under hardware:
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1 This line is the model number!
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B00
    SMC Version: 1.27f1
    Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    I have got tiger installed onto this MacBookPro which is the latest 4,1 model, but you require the latest Tiger disk (which the Apple Genius had in my case), but the volume, brightness and trackpad gestures do not work! Everything else is fine.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

    When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
    The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
    I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
    The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
    I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
    Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
    The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
    I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions?
    thanks
