I don't know if this will help you - but last year our school purchased one
of these scanners too - and it would not be recognized by a Powermac 5260.
It worked fine with a Dos machine with a SCSI card. Umax tech support
suggested the cable may be  faulty - so I swapped the SCSI cable with one
from an older scanner - and hey presto it worked (and the Astra scanner
cable worked with the older scanner too!)
