Trying to connect Umax PL 2100XL (SCSI) to G4 - scanner not found

Only one termination should be powered in a SCSI chain. Generally, it should be the last device. It's been a long time since I've worked with SCSI, but I recall that scanners may be picky about where in a chain of multiple devices they are located; electrical noise on the SCSI data lines causes problems with the scanner electronics. I don't recall whether best results are found from locating it as the first device in line from the computer or the last device.

Windows-nya apa ? Biasanya ini terjadi karena drivernya nggak cocok sama windows. Misalnya driver installer nya hanya support sampai win vista atau XP saja, tapi di install di Windows 7 64-bit, pasti tidak akan jalan.

Semoga membantu.

Hi ,
If you have the W XP install disc , you can install a virtual version of W XP on your machine from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
If you still have the install disc , you can also partition your primary and install W XP on the new partition from http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html. Easy and safe , no specific knowledge required .
I don't see any other way .
Regards .

there are some Firewire to SCSI and USB to SCSI adapters that should work- check www.hamrick.com. Ed Hamrick has written Vuescan scanning software that will work with the 2100XL, windows 7 and many of these adpters

You need to purchase a Ratoc FireWire - Ultra SCSI Converter and then a s scsi pin adaptor that will fit the Converter to the back of the scanner - and it will work on OS 10. There is also a software CD you need to install that comes with the converter. I have found I need to reinstall this Utility software every time I have shut down and restarted the system unfortunately - but it does make the scanner work - so now I just leave the CD in the computer and automatically boot it up and leave the computer and scanner on until I am finished using it for a while.

It may be an old Adaptec SLIM-SCSI series. Very popular on Late 90s

I found the drivers on the UMAX site: ftp://67.66.169.205/scanners/magicscan/version4.5/mscan45.exe, http://www.umax.com/download/index.jsp. I just don't know how to connect it... :S

hi,

1. connect the scanner usb cable to your desk top
2. install your scanner driver (cd of your scanner) to your computer.
3 as you put the cd in your desk top computer it will give you guide line (just follow it)


thank you....
