I have to scan about 20 handwritten notebooks, which also contain coloured drawings. And I work with iMac. Is this scanner good for that? Thank you for your answer

No, unfortunately the book scanner only works with Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10. The following scanners are suitable:

Microtek XT3500
Microtek XT-3500 (USB)

The question has been raised on this page before, but the answers are several years old and I'd like to know what the current status is.
I'm interested in buying this book scanner, but I'm on a Mac.
The Galaxus site says it only works with Windows.
The Plustek site, on the other hand, states that it is Mac compatible:
"Mehrere Plattformen: Kompatibel mit PC und Mac
Für Mac Benutzer enthält das OpticBook 4800 einen voll funktionsfähigen Treiber und eine einfache, aber leistungsstarke Scansoftware, mit der Sie sofort loslegen können. ICA Unterstützung und eine einfache, aber leistungsstarke Scansoftware, mit der Sie sofort loslegen können."
I just want to be sure that there is no model "bridged" to work only with Windows and that, if I buy it, this scanner will work with Mac (14.7.1, Sonoma).
Can someone using it with a Mac confirm that it works before I make the purchase?
