Re: OT: Macintosh SCSI Card help

GIMPshop interface gives Photoshop UI, and you can use Photoshop filters (uncompiled) with GIMP.

 The short version is that there is no way to fix this bar rebooting. All of your peripherals are managed by
OSX, which includes the SCSI port, and classic mode has no access to them at all. There is no way around it
that I know of. I even have a training manual that states just just that. It is frustrating.

 You could get a freeware program like The GIMP, which is almost as good as Photoshop, and scan/import your
files with OSX, and then edit the files using Classic and photoshop. Speaking from experience, I used to
love the Classic Mac OS, but OS X is better in so many ways I almost never use it any more. The BIG advantage is
that one locked up app will never crash your system, unlike OS 9.2. You might check out the Gimp or other
similar free Linux -> Mac port and see if that will work for you.

 Hi all,

This is way off topic, but there seems to be a collection of knowledge 
in this group which may be able to help me. As a Tandy 100 owner, you 
know I love older technology and am a little slow to move into all the 
new stuff. But, now and again, I get forced into it here at my 
newspaper.

I'm happy to talk to the Macintosh "brains" off list at 
jgraf@..., or by phone at 608-582-2330.

Thanks.

I'm gimpy enough as it is. I've made peace with the incompatibility by 
replacing the SCSI connected scanner with a USB connected one. All my 
old software works just fine, thank you, and I'm happy again.
