I am currently locked in a death struggle with the Initio device. Latest
issue is getting a power adapter for it - apparently no termination power on
the SCSI bus. Man, it would be so great if this could work...
Still trying, but nought but frustration so far. Of course Linocolor doesn't
find the scanner when running in Classic mode.
Onward! (to Radio Shack, maybe?)
