VueScan is much less expensive than Silverfast for running scanners on the
Mac side.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Ideas on getting a Nikon LS2000 working on a
Thunderbolt iMac?

Hi, I use my SCSI Betterlight with a new Macbook Pro with daisy-chained
adapters without any problems (Thunderbolt-Firewire, Firewire-SCSI).  In
lots of ways it has been easier to set up than when I was using it with
SCSI.  The only problem I can see for you is getting software for the
scanner that runs on Mountain Lion.  I know the Nikon software wasn't
updated for the Intel Macs.  Can you get Silverfast for your scanner?

two adapters -- SCSI-to-Firewire, then Firewire-to-Thunderbolt.
