I am trying to find a driver for this Epson GT 10000+ SCSI scanner.
The Epson site gives a download that turns out to be a network utility
for it and a copy utility but as far as I can see there isn't a
driver. I'm using Vuescan which works with an A4 Canon usb scanner I
have, but it can't see the Epson.
I can operate the Scanner on a windows box so it does work. I then put
the Scsi card into my Powermac quicksilver 933mhz running Leopard
connect the Scanner, turn it on then turn on the Mac but no joy.
I asked in an earlier post about connecting the scsi to usb but am
reposting as the topic has slightly changed. Hope that is OK.

Are you sure the Mac is seeing the SCSI card? Does it show up under
System Profiler?

Thanks for that answer. There is a lot to learn.

I checked and it looks like this
pci14e4,120f:

Type: Other Network Controller
Driver Installed: Yes
Bus: PCI
Slot: SLOT-5
Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x4320
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Subsystem ID: 0x120f
Revision ID: 0x0003

So I think that that means I need a driver for the SCSI pci card. I'll
start looking.
Annoyingly the powermac had a pci SCSI card alredy but it is a type 3
and the scanner is a type 2, at least according to my brother who
looked at it a week ago.

The card is an Adaptec 2940AU PCI SCSI card
and from their site the available drivers are for

Linux Driver Source
Linux Driver Source Code

Microsoft
Microsoft DOS
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows 3.1x
Microsoft Windows 7
Microsoft Windows 95
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows NT

Microsoft Windows Vista


Novell NetWare

Unix

So maybe I need a mac supported card. Trouble is I've already bought
this one and an iwill card so I don't want to buy yet another random
card. I've seen a couple of cards for sale which claim to be OK on
macs but they were in the hundreds of £s price range. I did google
this card before buying it and it looked like it would work but it may
have been influenced by wishful thinking.
