I don't want to spend much on a Mac so I was thinking of getting a low spec G4 and running an older version of OSX (I'll first have to figure out what version of OSX I can run with the scanner/software combo). I'd be keen to know what setup you're running (or what anyone else is running). So now the search for a suitable Mac begins. I've organised for it to be professional crated and the seller is going to prepare it for shipping by installing the brackets in the locking position. Well I have now committed to the buy and I expect that scanner will arrive in a week or so. I'm after the highest quality scans, negs and trannies - regardless of the time it will take. If anyone would care to enlighten me on their workflow for this scanner I would be really interested.
SHEEPSHAVER 8 BIT COLOR SERIAL NUMBER
The software is unlocked with a serial number (on the CD case) - no dongle needed.

I'm running version 2.? on OSX and am pretty sure 16-bit is offered across the board (don't quote me on that though). Note that with the weight of the scanner, these handles will feel like they are about to cut your fingers off at any moment! It has 4 "useful" handles that pull out of the bottom of the scanner. Mine was missing so I made one from an old mouse-mat. I moved it with a friend, making sure BOTH locking plates are present and correct, and the little rubber piece that stops the scan bed from moving. The machine wont run without it installed, in case you think you could save space. The tail section comes off really easily, open the front panel and undo one thumbscrew (all the way out) then slide the tail towards you and up. Hi Tim, I can offer a little advice, I bought a used Cezanne a fortnight ago, here in the UK.
