OK, well now that you've said that, I should say this. Ratoc adapter works well in 10.3 and 10.4 with mostĭevices, it's probably a better choice for the same To my Powerbook so I can retire the 9-year-old Mac One for myself, to connect my old Nikon film scanner If the Ratoc adapter works well in 10.3 and 10.4 with most devices, it's probably a better choice for the same or less money. People who tried to use the 1480 with the very early versions of OS X were disappointed (or worse). OS X was barely half there (10.0 and 10.1 were essentially incomplete and unusable, and had no built-in support for SCSI). Back then many people still had useful SCSI peripherals, and needed a way to connect them to the Pismo. When the Pismo came out without a SCSI port, there were lots of posts about the Adaptec 1480.

I can't begin to justify the cost of replacing the scanner with a newer FireWire model, and I can't just let the old one go.īefore I got my Tibook, I used to spend as much time in the Powerbook G3 forums as I spend here now. I may order one for myself, to connect my old Nikon film scanner to my Powerbook so I can retire the 9-year-old Mac clone that's taking up prime real estate in my home office, solely to serve as a film scanning station.
