Heidelberg Linoscan 2400 XL running on Leopard/Snowleopard

I could get a perfect conditioned Heidelberg Linoscan 2400 XL. In the list of supported OS, I see it only up to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
Has the Scanner from LSI been tested
a) on older G4 Hardware only ?
b) on these older G4 systems only with "native" SCSI-Adapter-connections (native on a G4 System) ?
c) or also on Intel-based newer Macs with the Ratoc Adapter ?

This is, because I want to use in wit a Mac Mini and the Ratoc Firewire-Adapter on at least OS X Leopard or then OS X Snow-Leopard.
Will OS X Leopard and OS X Snow-Leopard be supported / upgraded with the latest version of Silverfast, as this Scanner is ony of the former mid-range
scanners - of course below the High-End Topaz -series...

Thankyou very much for your answers

Dear Customer,

Has the Scanner from LSI been tested
a) on older G4 Hardware only ?

There we have tested it and it was working

b) on these older G4 systems only with "native" SCSI-Adapter-connections (native on a G4 System) ?

Yes only with a "real" SCSI Card

c) or also on Intel-based newer Macs with the Ratoc Adapter ?

I have just tested this with our Linoscan 2200 (as I do not have a 2400XL at hand) and it was not recognised on 10.5 & 10.6

Hallo Herr Luebker,

danke für Ihre Antwort,
sobald ich den Ratoc-Adapter habe werde ich sehen, ob es auch mit diesem "unechten SCSI" läuft...
Ich berichte dann.
Gibt es einen Plan, Silverfast für die Heidelberg Linoscan Serie für OS X Leopard / SnowLeopard weiter zu entwickeln?
Das wäre schön, danke.

Dazu kann ich Ihnen momentan leider keine konkrete Aussage geben.
