Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - works
worked on three scsi scanners (epson perfection 1200s, polaroid sprintscan 4000, agfa arcus II) with vuescan on a g5 running OS 10.4.1.1. don't forget to set scsi device number on scanner.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great with Canon FS2710 and imac
The FR1SX worked very well for me. I just plugged it into the back of my Canon FS2710 and connected the Firewire cable to my intel imac and turned the scanner on. Works great with Vuescan software, no problems.

Ratoc Systems FR1SX FireWire to Ultra SCSI Converter (IEEE1394)

I purchased this converter to use with my SCSI ORB drive on Mac OS 10.4.11. When I inserted a cartridge, the ORB icon mounted on the desktop. Next, I tried copying files to the ORB.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THE solution that I had been searching for.
I bought the Ratoc Firewire/SCSI Converter to use with 2 different scanners (one at a time - no SCSI daisychain) both of which had SCSI one connectors via an adaptor.

No Ratoc drivers needed although I was using VueScan to communicate with them. It is important to adopt SCSI rules, ie switch on scanners and let them get to standby mode before connecting or booting the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - works for me
Product is designed to be plugged into a SCSI port in an older computer to use with a newer firewire device. But I use the product in reverse: the product allows me to use my older SCSI professional scanner with my new computer via firewire! Yea! (I had to install the Older version of the firmware for it to work on my Mac - ships on a disc with the product.)
