One response stated what I tried to infer, "Polaroid Corporation" is
DOA, AMEN. Your purchase was probably from a 'clearance marketer', a
species that IS a black hole with NO support of any kind, even if
licensed to use the Polaroid brand for clearance marketing. (Your
invoice or the detailed information re the vendor on your credit card
invoice should reveal.) The reason there is no OS X upgrade: this is
a clearance item for which there will be NO upgrades for ANY software
of any ilk. If you keep, suggest you try my tack. On my partitioned
disk, I have a Panther partition for most work and a Jaguar partition
for booting when I want to use my VERY expensive 5490 HP Scanner for
which even sillier and more irresponsible HP fails to supply timely
upgrades. As you know, depressing the option key at startup provides
the option to then select other than the default partition for boot.
Contact off list if you need more info re the partition option.
I responded because I can 'feel' your pain - - bin dar dun dat. Even
worse is to throw valuable time after totally lost money. Believe you
will find the best options to be: sell on eBay and purchase a
supported unit; or, damn the worthless warranty and try to fix
yourself.
Finally, full circle as to my lurk mode on this subject essential for a
'modern' OM lover: price / performance is a moving target and an
almost impossible decision for film scanners if money counts. The
standard in the sub-commercial products continues to be N'kon with
improvements in competitors which are 'almost'......... but not quite
enough to extract my green. The high resolution Pacific Image PF 3650
Pro retains my interest because of the design which negates the N'kon
requirement to spend another $500 for a roll film scanner accessory.
Does anyone have direct experience with the latest 3600 x 3600 dpi
unit????
Bottomline: consider cutting your losses.
Regards AND empathy,
Bill
