[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 543975"] Rosetta won't necessarily translate everything: it depends on how the original code was written. While Rosetta can handle a lot of apps, it doesn't emulate everything that was PowerPC-only. I think your best bet would be to look at third-party scanner driver [URL="http://www.hamrick.com/"][B]VueScan[/B][/URL]. You can try it as a demo before buying it. :) [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] [URL="http://www.edn.com/blog/400000040/post/1080000908.html"][B]Here's an entry[/B][/URL] I found for the limitations of Rosetta translation. I had a list of incompatibilities with Rosetta: if I find it, I'll post it here.
