Spent about half the day trying to find a SCSI scanner that worked with Mac OS X, but didn't have much luck. Went through a pile of different scanners without any success. Finally, I plugged in an Agfa StudioScan IIsi, which sort of worked. The operating system and software recognized the scanner, but when I went to preview a scan, the scanner twiddled a bit, but never really did anything. When the software said it was 320% done, I figured it wasn't exactly working..
Hmm. SANE looks like it might do what I need. I don't think I've ever used that app, since I've never had a scanner connected to a Linux box before, but I've heard of it a lot.
I guess my vast knowledge of useless software is going to come in handy at this new job. Now I'll just have to figure out how to install that stuff. I think the box I've been working on didn't come with a compiler...
