Microtek Scanmaker v301 drivers?
« on: June 17, 2016, 09:27:49 PM »
I just bought a Microtek Scanmaker v301 SCSI and it didn't come with a CD.  I know that it should work somehow, because I had the same model when i was a teenager running on mac os 8.6.  But now I can't find the right software for it. 

Microtek has some software called Scanwizard that was available, but I'm not sure if you need a certain version for each scanner.  That's what it seems like.  But I can only find it for Windows while using google.  :(

the Macintosh Garden has version 3 available for download.  It doesn't detect my scanner.  Maybe the scanner is broken, it was from ebay.   The light comes on when is powers on.
Power Macintosh 8600/300
w/ PowerLogix 350Mhz G3 upgrade
Running Mac OS 9.2.2  &  8.6

I just found out about VueScan.  I'm going to check that out as an option.  Any other universal scan drivers/programs that I should be aware of, that any of you know?
EDIT:  VueScan can't see my scanner either.  And i can't see it in system profiler either.  I guess it must be broken?
