SilverFast works reliably with most UMAX scanners under Mac OS 10.4 Please note, there are different version of SilverFast ranging from SilverFast SE ($49) thru SilverFast SE Plus and SilverFast Ai up to SilverFast Ai STUDIO.
SilverFast SE Plus and SilverFast Ai STUDIO support the patented Multi-Sampling with Auto-Alignment to get rid of noise and increase dynamic range. http://www.silverfast.com/show/newsletter200608/en.html
This feature alone is worth the upgrade, but each version has also got NegaFix with over 120 different nagtive film profiles. Have a look at the highlights movie to see that you get phenomenal results from your Umax scanner!

Will this allow one to scan with PLII SCSI scanners, reliably in 10.4?

Not that SilverFast isn't feature rich and functional, but over $300 for what should be bundled software? Sure, the SE version works fine but we have trouble getting good results without scanning and tweaking for a half hour. Too bad Umax gave up the intuitive ease of use of MagicScan, now we're giving up on Umax. We bought a professional scanner and feel that it is reasonable to expect professional bundled software to use with it. Unfortunately we didn't pay closer attention to Umax's plans for OS X, we definitly would have not bought their product knowing what we now know.
