Seeing as were discussing scanning at present - any pertinent advice on
this problem?
I'm running a Polaroid SS4000 and APS CD burner off my G3 laptop without
problems. However, the laptop is a lease deal with my employer (local
education department) and the 3 year lease period is up. I now get a new
one. It's a great deal (like, er US$2 per week!) but the new offer is a Mac
I-Book 500 with basic 24X CD drive and lots of RAM. Guess what. No SCSI!
Firewire and USB only. No card slots either, I believe. Aaaarrrrgggghh.
Peripheral obsolescence!
Is there a Firewire to SCSI adapter that suits both scanning and storage?
Are USB adapters any good? What the hell was wrong with SCSI-2 anyway?!

NB
Don't suggest I take the IBM option on offer - they're much worse
(Thinkpads - don't even have a trackpad!).
Don't suggest I get a refurbished desktop Mac - I'd have to sell some Zuiks
to pay for it.
There has to be an answer!
