When my scanning is completed on the Howtek/G4 combo, I immediately transfer the scan to my more current Mac for scan review, processing and whatever else I want to do with it. Im scanning up to 8x10 images and wouldnt want to wait for the older computer to even try to deal with a file that size. Transfer and then reading takes about 40 minutes for a GB to transfer, but since I dont do many a day, I can wait for this event. Agree that the G4 tower I have with OS9 is precious and wouldnt want to have to find (or pay for) a current replacement any time soon. I have hoarded some spare parts like another SCSI cable, might consider getting a spare G4 at some point as well.
