Couple of questions about a Thunderware LightningScan for the Mac. 1: Any one have any idea what the voltage is for the power supply for it? I have on here, but the person I got it from warned me that the power supply he was including might or might not be for it. All he knew is it was the only power supply in the box of stuff with it that fit. The power supply is a wall wart rated at 16v AC, 20vA. Says its made by Condor. 2: Included (and what I actually thought I was getting) is a Thunderscan adaptor for the Imagewriter. It has been a REALLY long time since I used one, but I recalled it being a drop in replacement for the ribbon, and it connected inline to the serial port. So you connected the Thunderscan to the Mac, and the Imagewriter to the box on the cord for the Thunderscan. The one I have jives with that, but connected to the end of the serial connector is another box that looks like it would connect to the Drive port, and then to a Mini-Din 8 serial port. This box is removable, so it might not belong for all I know (it is labled "Thunderscan", so it must at least go to one of their products) What is this other box. Is it just a converter for use with din 8 serial ports? If so, why the connector for the Drive port? (The one I used in the past was on a 512K, and I don't remember this box being part of the setup, but then it would have connected to a DE-9 serial port which is what the Scanner head cable terminates to). 3: What is the LightningScan box for? Is this part of a different scanner? I'm sure this box was not part of the setup I used in the past. It appears to have SCSI ports on it (two DB-25 ports and a push button number selector). There is a mini-din 8 on this box. Is that odd adaptor to hook up to this box? The din 8 cable looks kind of short to be used with this box and have it connect to the drive port AND the box connected to the SCSI port. (The box is too small to be a zero footprint device that sits under the Mac, and the din 8 pigtail is only about 5 inches long, enough to reach to the serial port on the Mac, but not enough to reach to the outside of the mac to connect to the front of the LightningScan box where the din 8 port is). I did a bit of googling, and it looks like the LightningScan box was for a hand scanner, so it might not go to the Thunderscan at all. But that other drive port looking adaptor box has me stumped. Anyone able to shed some additional light on this stuff? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
