conjure1 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi, My scanner driver is written for Mac classic OS9 and I cant get it to run on my OSX. Is there a universal patch so the Mac detects my scanner no matter what its specs r? If no, can I run this classic-written software on OS X? Thanx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63544-running-a-mac-classic-software-on-uphuck-1049/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Classic Mac apps can't be run on Intel Macs (or Hacintoshes) without running them in an emulator (the only one I know of that runs OS 9 is SheepShaver). You might want to look for a program called VueScan though. It supports many different scanners not natively supported by OS X.

conjure1 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I tried it today but it didnt work. I can run an entire system it seems but not a specific file. I only have one file, an hqx file, so I can't run it with Sheepshaver and neither with PearPC. But thanx for the tips Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63544-running-a-mac-classic-software-on-uphuck-1049/#findComment-450571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

conjure1 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 it seems there is something called sane drivers that support lots of scanners. http://www.sane-project.org/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63544-running-a-mac-classic-software-on-uphuck-1049/#findComment-827451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
