RE: Mac OS X Leopard (Re: new problem)
Isn't there a way to virtualized Tiger under Leopard? I know with Windows (Vista, XP Pro, etc.) I can use VMWare to run any OS that will run on a Wintel/WinAMD box, including legacy versions of DOS, Windows, as well as any Linux flavor of the month and x86 versions of Solaris. Most of the time with full hardware compatibility and full fault tolerance preventing crashes of the Host OS.

I'm somewhat fearful of installing it as well for my Imacon scanner might not work and that, well, that will be a hole in my pocket and tears in my eyes. Hope it will come to a sweet and perfect finale for you. JF > Hi Jack, > > Thanks. I've read all that. In fact, I think I've read everything > on Epson's site.
