I hauled my ScanJet 6100c out of storage, beastly scanner but its quality cant be beat, I downloaded the drivers from HPs website. Ran the Installer, First it gave not enough memory error, Yet I have 768MB in this Beige G3. So I increased the memory.. Installer runs but wont let me install to my Hard drive
Any ideas on this
Thanks again

Did you specifically download drivers for 8 & 9 (usually HP bundles 8 and 9)? Using System 7 drivers can cause problems sometimes.
Also, the fact that you can't select a hard drive makes me think that it's expecting an HDD on the SCSI bus. The 6100c is pretty old judging by the minimum requirements (68020 Mac), and the software may not know what to do with non-SCSI. I've noticed this with old OCR and backup software for instance.
I have a Scanjet 6300 and it's a friggin' aircraft carrier, but the quality is indeed awesome. It's new enough to where you can use SCSI or USB.
