Hello! Short story: stumbled on a Imacon Flextight Precision III scanner, and decided to get an old G4 to run the scanner instead of the costly and finicky Ratoc Fr1sx adapter. G4 is running OS 9.2, and I'm waiting on some RAM to arrive before I can run the scanner software. Scanner itself is good, was given to me by an old photographer friend who hasn't used it in years. Scanner powers up and visually seems fine.
I purchased an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. A lot of hobbyists recommend the 2930 card for older Imacons, but the particular scanner I have has the SCSI-3 press type connector, not the SCSI-2 screw type connector that the 2930 card has. Plus all the reading I did online indicated that both 2906 and 2930 cards are supported by the Power Mac G4s, I even found a source saying that the 2930 driver would work for the 2906 card.
So, as someone who is not yet well versed in classic Apple machines, I can't figure out what driver type to download. I've seen lots of drivers out there, but I am mainly unsure what format of driver I need. I found a .hqx format driver, but the G4 did not recognize the filetype. Currently looking at a driver I got from here whose filename is "AdaptecSCSI2906.sea.bin" Is that the right type?
I'm super excited to get this scanner up and running. Have been shooting film for years, and recently was fortunate enough to get my dream camera. Now my goal is to get the dream scans!
Thanks!
