topaz scanner problems . . .

[permafrost]

Well . . . got a g4 with 9.2 installed and an adaptec 2930 scsi card and a griffin usb adb converter . . . lo and behold it finds the scanner but apparently the dongle is not being found since it is only running in demo mode and putting a big old demo in the middle of the scan. I know the adb converter is working since I have a keyboard & trackball on the other side of it and they both work fine . . any ideas?????

Hello...
What model is your scanner... Topaz I or Topaz II ... The topaz scanners with round lights... these are the model II as far as I know. What version of Linocolor are you running...

I believe topaz I and linocolor 4.1 . . . the latest round is I got a beige and white g3 (scsi and adb built in) installed os8 on it and the durn thing works!!!! apparently the griffin adb converter didn't do the trick but its all good now . .. I looking for a back up for the g3 now so when it dies this time I will be ready

thanks for all the input

Get an old Mac Keyboard from Ebay, hook up the Keyboard to the Griffin Imate and attach the dongle to the Keyboard.

Well, you might try to find a newer copy of LinoColor that uses a code instead of a dongle. They should be able to be found. The version is around 5.0 or so.
