SCSI Scanner on OS X

Is there any way I can get my SCSI Lintype-Hell Jade scanner to work in OS X for free?
It works with VueScan, but I'd rather not pay $50 just to get a scanner that works fine on OS 9 working on OS X. Any Open Source software/drivers that might work?

Scanning on OS X can be a bit tricky. Your best bet, by far, is to go with VueScan. Sadly, it's rather expensive. But I sucked it up and paid for it some time ago and haven't been disappointed. It simply works with almost everything.
I'm currently using it with a Canon USB scanner and a Minolta SCSI negative scanner.

SANE (what ShawnString linked to) lists the Linotype-Hell Jade as having "good" support. Give it a shot--it's free, after all..

For many users, the $50 you spend on VueScan will be worth it. Awesome to have a single interface for every scanner, a very fine degree of control and it makes lovely scans. What's your time worth?
