I just got a working apple color one scanner 600/27 with all the cables but no drivers. I don't plan on using it so I want to know if it is worth saving or selling? It also have the original manual and warranty. So Sell or Keep?

You can use the ColorOne 600/27 on a B&W G3 with a SCSI card under MacOS 9 but AFAIK that's where it ends.

You need the Driver v4.3 to use the scanner on a G3 and that's the last driver Apple produced.

The Dispatcher-Ofoto Driver v4.2 comes with Photoshop compatible plugin that will work with a number of scanning programs including GraphicConverter.

You have to install the Ofoto Driver 4.2 software first, then replace the extension with the v4.3 (if you're using a SCSI card on a G3.

These are a fairly rare scanner. I have one in my collection. Please try to get it to a collector or somebody that can make use of it. :eek:

Unfortunately, Apple never released the program that used the plugin as a free download, but if you use the plugins that I posted earlier with GraphicConverter, then that should allow you to use the scanner.

If you're looking for the original floppy disks as a collector's item, then I sincerely wish you good luck!

I have the original floppy discs for the Apple Color OneScanner. Still in the plastic, never opened. Send me an email at songwriter2188@gmail.com to make me an offer for them and I will consider it. :)
