Umax supervista s-10 scanner drivers?

Posted by: Rockin' Kat on 2013-06-27 22:25:36 Hi, So I'm doing some cleaning and I found this under a desk... Now I'm wondering if this could be used on a Mac IIfx? I have no idea if this scanner ever had 68k support or was PPC only. Searching for old drivers is such a drag...

Posted by: NJRoadfan on 2013-06-28 07:09:33 I used to own a Vista S6E, it had 68k Mac support. I didn't even know a S10 existed. the TWAIN drivers are called "VistaScan", UMAX should have them somewhere. Sadly I just tossed all the drivers and stuff for mine since the scanner is long gone. If I recall it was Vistascan 2.3 or something. Old versions of Silverfast should support it as well.

Posted by: NJRoadfan on 2013-06-28 12:37:51 OK, you want Vistascan 2.43. It should work OK with 68k machines as UMAX says 68k support was dropped at v3.1. Later versions of VistaScan don't support the Vista S series scanners, if you need an advanced scanning interface, the Magic Scan software used by their Powerlook and Mirage lines will work. I used to use it under Windows 2000 with my S6E since that old version of VistaScan didn't work under it.
