This was rather easy. Here you go Ari. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Pali; your scanner and computer seem to boot up a bit faster than mine, but not by too much.
I think the clean install and a new hard drive will help.
My computer sputters at the start, then smooths out eventually. The scanner, likewise.
After installing the new HD, I'll also run a diagnostic on the scanner, but my main issue is the computer.

If the SSD works that should make a huge difference in booting up and in starting the ES application, but it probably will not speed up scnaning since the processor on the Eversmart will still be the bottleneck in this operation.

But I am anxious to hear how installation on the SSD drives goes. I was not aware that these drives were easy to install on Mac G4s, though I use them on all of my newer Macs.

Right now the computer seems to be the bottleneck, I understand that the scanner won't scan any faster.
Here's the video of the installation instructions: https://eshop.macsales.com/installvi..._g4_mirror_hd/
I'll of course report back once I get everything installed and set up.
