Leafscan 45 Computer needed

[carl corey]

I would like to use a leafscan 45 and silverfast software. Please recommend the most trouble free computer system that i can dedicate to the leafscan.
Thank You.

Carl Corey,

Many people like Mac computers. If you are talking about a Windows computer and this is for business purposes in the US I would recommend Dell, or HP, because you can purchase on-site computer support.

Thank you. We have a couple dells and a multitude of macs..unfortunately the leafscan ansd silverfast combination is very particular (8 year user) so i am after a more specific recommendation ie

scsi board
cpu
OS

firewire -scsi on a windows xp pro machine
or scsi on a mac

G3 or G4 machine

our trusty supermac s900 dual that worked fine gave up the ghost and no G4 we have will recognize the leafscan 45 regardless of scsi id selected or start up procedure.
It really is a n archaic scanner but I really like the scans..,,
Again thank you.

Ah,

It sounds like you have a computer and just need to match the type of SCSI connection. You may be able to purchase a simple SCSI adapter that will connect the older SCSI device to the newer SCSI connector on your computer.

Take a look on www.cablesdirect.com to see if you can't find a suitable adapter.

This is of course unless you are just looking to spend more money. ;-)

Thanks... I will need a scsi board that is recommended for a G3/silverfast/leaf45 scsi I guess..
I am using the scanner on a c500 umax temporarily but the silverfast software does not work on that machine running 9.1.4
