You need to purchase a Ratoc FireWire - Ultra SCSI Converter and then a s scsi pin adaptor that will fit the Converter to the back of the scanner - and it will work on OS 10. There is also a software CD you need to install that comes with the converter. I have found I need to reinstall this Utility software every time I have shut down and restarted the system unfortunately - but it does make the scanner work - so now I just leave the CD in the computer and automatically boot it up and leave the computer and scanner on until I am finished using it for a while.

Scaner Umax power look 2100Xl pas di intsal kenapa tidak jalan dan scsi tidak kebaca

Windows-nya apa ? Biasanya ini terjadi karena drivernya nggak cocok sama windows. Misalnya driver installer nya hanya support sampai win vista atau XP saja, tapi di install di Windows 7 64-bit, pasti tidak akan jalan.

Semoga membantu.

Hi Try using the software called Vuescan by Hamrick Software.. www.hamrick.com I think.
