19 inch(1024 x 768) or larger is recommended.

CD-ROM Drive: Necessary (when installing the software.)

Recommended SCSI Board:

With a Power Macintosh and Power Macintosh G3 The standard built-in SCSI board

Connecting to the extension board inserted into the PCI bus/NuBus is not available.)

With a Blue & White Power Macintosh G3*, Power Macintosh G4

Adaptec PowerDomain 2940UW/U2W, PowerDomain 2930U, SCSI Card 2906, and AVA-2903B

* Some models in the Blue & White Power Macintosh G3 series use the Ultra2 Wide SCSI board as the standard built-in SCSI board, however, connecting the Dimage Scan Multi II to the standard built-in SCSI board is not recommended. The connecting capacity may be limited and the full capabilities of the PC may not be usable due to the specifications of the standard built-in SCSI board.

When using the model which has the standard built-in SCSI board, insert the recommended SCSI board as described above in the open slot without detaching the standard built-in SCSI board and then connect the Dimage Scan Multi II to the SCSI connctor on the inserted SCSI board.

Other: Adobe PhotoShop Ver. 4.0.1, Ver. 5.0.2, Ver. 5.5 and Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE have been fully tested for use with the plug-in software.
