Setup Suggestions?

[photochrisis]

Hello All,

I'm in the market for a used Howtek 4500 and plan on running this on a mac with Silverfast HDR. I have an old 9600 with a G3 card in it that might be fine for this running OS9. Is there any advantage to using a newer machine under OS X? Is it true that the G4's G5's and OS X don't play nice with SCSI?

Pro's? Con's?

Thanks,
Chris

Dear Chris

problem's rather OSX 10.3/10.4 than G3/G4, although for a G5 you'll need a PCI-X compatible SCSI controller card.

Sonny,
Thanks for your response. I'll be buying a new (used) mac to run this with and can either go with OS X or OS 9. I'd rather get a faster machine if a G5 would work ok. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris
