Use that handscanner I sold you on Ebay a few years ago.

Or use a DigiView.  Slow but really cheap on Ebay.

Where did you ever find cracked version of MovieSetter?  That software is abandonware (for over a decade) but all the version I've found still want you to type a word from the manual to use it.

What is your avatar?  I've wondered what it is supposed to be every time I see it.

Sorry to hear the scanner didn't work for you.  It never gave me a problem - and I did test it before sending it.  Try it some more (I seem to remember since the driver software is older you might have to play with the screenmode or something).

Also, if you have a SCSI card with external connector, you can use an flatbed SCSI scanner to scan your drawn art.  BetaScan is free on Aminet and drives many SCSI scanners.

I see SCSI scanners (some very good quality) in Thrift stores now and then selling for peanuts.  Look for people who used to do graphic work on old 68K series Macs - they usually have one to sell!
