Umax Bundles SCSI Card With Pro Scanners For Blue & White Customers
Umax has announced that the company will bundle a SCSI card with all of their PowerLook and Mirage professional scanners. The move is aimed at owners of Blue & White PowerMac G3s who may not have a SCSI card with their systems. According to Umax:

Apple has moved away from the traditional SCSI-based computers by introducing the PowerMacintosh G3. As a result, users are required to purchase a SCSI card to connect their scanner or other peripheral devices to their system, which leads to potential SCSI card and software driver incompatibility. Now UMAX is including a PowerMacintosh G3 compatible SCSI card and drivers with the PowerLook 3000, PowerLook III, and Mirage II scanners, to allow users to focus on choosing the right scanner for their needs rather than worrying about technical issues. The inclusion of the SCSI card is an even greater value for Mirage II customers, since UMAX recently reduced the price of this scanner by as much as $1,200.

The PowerLook 3000, PowerLook III and Mirage II are currently shipping with the Macintosh Software Bundle and are available for estimated street prices of $7295, $1795, and $2595, respectively.
