Hi,
I'm about to pick up a Scanmate 4000 drumscanner from the 90s... and I would like it to run on my current iMac (using a partition of the HD to run OSX 10.5, which is compatible with ColorQuartet software for the scanner)

... BUT: can I possibly connect the scanner this way? I know that some (hopefully most) people have success connecting Scanmate scanners via SCSI->Firewire adapters, but can I continue the chain to Thunderbolt?

Any knowledge/advice greatly appreciated!

ps: I know I can 'just buy an old mac' etc etc, but I don't want to have more computers than necessary - there's already 3 in the apartment
