Any PC with a SCSI card has a SCSI utility you can go into at boot up and see all of the SCSI ID's. On the Mac I think Adaptec had a utility for that from the Mac GUI. Thinking either Mac OS 8 or 9.

Small Computer Systems Interface. I remember a time where apple was bleeding edge and had SCSI onboard. Most PCs needed a card to run a SCSI interface. It was smoking fast for the time if a bit of a pain in the balls to get working.

Ahh when apple was an innovator. Now they are a marketing company.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

(This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

About 10 years back we had a need for a really good scanner. Even the Epson V850 pro wouldn't be sufficient for them. So we bought a SCSI drum scanner off ebay for less than $500. Even came with a UMax clone running OS8.5. After some icc and a few touchups oil mounted slides came out looking the bees knees.

Back to the OP though. Have you tried Vuescan?
