My experience is positive (Microtek 8700)

Feedback Type: Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Back in 2004, their release for OSX was bad. So I was using the old classic version to scan. This one, however, seems to work just as good as the OS9 version. We do lots of batch scanning and the software helps tremendously. I also like the descreening filters--all of which are old, but important features (I'm glad Microtek didn't fiddle around with them).

I haven't had the problems mentioned here with 7.5. I cannot say I won't have problems. But so far, so good.

I'm using OSX 10.4.3 with 2GB RAM on a G5 Power Mac. I'm using the software with my Microtek 8700 through the Firewire port. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Oh, and I should mention that I downloaded v7.5 from the website directly. I didn't see anything that read "7.51" So maybe that makes a difference.

Quick work-around "not found" errors - n9vjg

1. Turn off scanner.
2. Unplug firewire from computer.
3. Wait 5 seconds. Plug back in.
4. Turn on scanner.
5. Re-launch Scanwizard.
So far, so good (and I saved $$$ by not buying another driver).
