It all depends. Tried Vuescan to drive an Agfa Horizon Plus on W2000pro and
W98SE and ran into several problems. Fotolook 3.5 worked with that scanner
in both OSses but gave a huge conflict when Vuescan was installed next to
it. Vuescan didn't get further than recognising the scanner once and then
crashed. I'm afraid that Ed Hamrick should rephrase the text: compatible
with all Agfa flatbed scsi scanners. I've asked him for help and if he
couldn't to rephrase that part of his webpage but I didn't get an answer so
far. Meanwhile I can use Vuescan to drive the Nikon 8000 scanner so it isn't
without a task.

Tyler Boley has problems to get an Agfa T2500 working on OSX with Fotolook
3.6X. Agfa isn't very active anymore in scanner development so it will be
difficult to get things right. Tyler doesn't like Vuescan but I got the
impression he could get it working on OSX and with the T2500. Check the
Fotolook OSX thread on the high end scanners list.
