Re: OS X.8 Mountain Lion and Smaart 7...
Steve,
In a weak, late night moment I updated to Mtn Lion...and I had to use it a few days later. Everything worked fine on MBP retina, Smaart v7, and a Roland OctoCapture.
FYI Mtn lion is not compatible with Parallels below v7 (much to the chagrin of many users), so be prepared to pony up $50 to upgrade if you use v6 or below. I had ver 7, but had to download a new Parallels update to make it work. A $50 upgrade for a program for a $20 OS....

I wish Apple would just slow down for a while!
The only reason I went to Lion was because some programs stopped working right, now I have to do it all again!

My business's dependence upon MobileMe (and thus losing that at the end of June) is the only reason I'm not still running Snow Leopard.
There's nothing about MLion that will require me to upgrade any time soon.

Soon we will see lazy tabby and then randy tomcat. Then they might slow down just due to the lack of feline names.

I seem to be a glutton for punishment and went on and upgraded to Mountain Lion. Smaart 7, and about all of my other programs work fine (I had Parallels 7, but had to do the regular update, but no sweat, that was free). There's an older printer, an Epson Workforce 310 that isn't working on the network side, and I'm not certain that it's Mountain Lion causing the problems as I updated the printer software and still have the problem. A Workforce 545 and 810 (?) still work just fine. I will be trying my Yamaha Studio Manager and CL programs later this week.
That's a hell of a note, indeed!

Re: OS X.8 Mountain Lion and Smaart 7...
Hi Geri.
It looks like my HP laser printer and my Fujitsu scanner will no longer be supported under the latest Mac OS upgrade. They both work fine under Lion and as far as I can tell have lot's of life left in them.
The hp might be salvaged using Gutenprint drivers, but I don't think there's any hope for the scanner. At $400+ for a replacement, I'm not sure Mountain Lion has anything I really need.

Scansnap? It boggles my mind that there are still different mac/windows models from them. When I was shopping I was going to get the Epson GTS50 instead, but finally decided to save my money and am able to do duplex scanning with my multifunction laser by doing one side at a time using the duplex scanning software in Adobe Acrobat.
More generally, with a proper clone of your drive it's easy and quick to boot into legacy mode. I still have firewire/USB enclosures housing old HDD's but the newer thunderbolt/USB 3.0 options look reasonably priced. I have a collection of cloned images of my computer dating back to tiger. I used to use Super Duper! but have had better luck with Carbon Copy Cloner on a few failing drives. With storage in the cloud (pick your poison) it's not the end of the world to boot into an older OS and let it pull the files from the interweb. Not really a perfect solution, but to some degree it will let you have your cake and eat it too.

Re: OS X.8 Mountain Lion and Smaart 7...
Yeah, there's a way 'round everything.
I use Carbon copy Cloner and am very happy with it.
I also have been very happy with the Snapscan scanner. It is VERY fast, the software is transparent, it handles multiple pages easily and does duplex. All important elements for my use.
I use the scanner often enough that haveing to boot into a legacy OS isn't a very appealing solution, but thanks for the creative thinking!
