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?
