Snapscan 1236S

[CS]

Why does my snapscan work in OS 9 with Silverfast 5/Scanwise on PBk G4 via SCSI to Firewire converter but not when using OS X 10.1.5 and scanwise 2.1fc2/Silverfast 6 for OSX. Agfa just do not respond, tried changing the capability files, config vars etc. but must be missing something. Help has anyone else worked out how to do this, I would love to upgrade to Silverfast 6 but may have to switch to v**s**n which does work.

Many SCSI scanners do not work with MAC OS 10.1.5 and higher. The reason is because we are using calls to the SCSI manager, which were valid for systems upto 10.1.2. OS 10.1.5 and higher seem to break this kind of SCSI support. We have already ported some of our projects to the new OSX function calls, but we have to do this for all projects individually.
Since the SnapScan 1236 project has not the highest priority, I have to ask for patience .
I don?t think that AGFA can help with this problem.

Thanks Eric. Do you have a rough timeframe for the 1236 project - 1 month,3,6 months or longer.
Can I assume from your comment that you build components for Silverfast or for someone else?

Currently, there is no shedule for the Snapscan project, but I would expect an OS10.2 version withing 1-3 month.
