ArtixScan 120tf and Mac OS X Leopard?

[borrel1]

Is anyone using the Microtek Artixscan 120tf with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.2). I have previously made

successful scan with this scanner using OS X 10.4 on a PowerBook G4, but now the results are awful on

my MacBook Pro. I realize that this may be an Intel Mac / OS X 10.5.2 incompatibility problem, but am

interested to know if anyone in this forum has the 120tf working successfully anyway - or has any

suggestions as to how that may come about. I use Silverfast, reluctantly, simply because it's the only

software I have managed to make work. VueScan drives me nuts when I try to set the crop limits and

ScanWizard doesn't really know what black and white negative film is. The problems I'm getting now are

apparent here: http://abdallah.hiof.no/120tf/120tf-1.jpg and http://abdallah.hiof.no/120tf/120tf-2.jpg

The horizontal striping is obvious.

I have just repartitioned the disk to make room (10GB) for an installation of OS X Tiger (10.4),

installed first Scanwizard from Microtek and then Silverfast 6.5. Now it all works very well.

Leopard and all my other stuff will go on a partition on the rest of the disk. (At first I also

upgraded 10.4 to the most recent 10.4.11. Silverfast crashed on startup, but that may have

been because Scanwizard - with the drivers was not installed. However, I ould have assumed

Silverfast did not need these.)
