You are in the middle of the project. Why tempt fate? While Snow Leopard has great technology under the hood and some nifty interface tweaks it isn't a game changer for day-to-day work. Chances are good you won't have any problems updating the Snow Leopard. But if you make money on your Mac wait until you have some free time to upgrade and check out Snow Leopards new capabilities. You run your office on the Mac. I could probably get along with the manual workaround outlined on the Fujitsu website, but Snow Leopard isn't compelling enough to make it worth the trouble.
The ScanSnap is just one piece of equipment. I haven't had any problems with my Wacom tablet or my HD camcorder. But if you use low-volume USB accessories - or an old printer - go to the vendor's website and check driver compatibility.
You use RAID storage. I've been testing the Apricorn PCIe raid array. When I installed Snow Leopard the OS noted that that driver for the array was not compatible and put it in a special folder.
But there were two problems with that. First, and most obvious, the array was no longer available. I'd guessed that and wasn't concerned. But the second problem was more serious. The array driver kept causing kernel panics. A kernel panic on a Mac causes a gray window shade to descend on your display with a note in 5 languages that says reboot your system. Everything stops. Take precautions. So I decided to reinstall Leopard.
It wasn't simple. I did a clean system install and used Migration Assistant to migrate my data back from my daily bootable disk clone - which saved my bacon. One key problem: Snow Leopard's Mail updates your mail folders to a new format.
It isn't backward compatible with Leopard Mail. If you don't have a Protect your data. If you earn your living on a Mac there are 2 precautions to take before upgrading to Snow Leopard. But if you do you'll be glad you did these two things. I was. Time Machine should be enabled. Time Machine is Apple's cool backup tool that snapshots your system every hour to an external disk. Best to have at several days of snapshots on your Time machine backup disk. Make a clone of your system disk just prior to the upgrade.
If the upgrade burps you'll be able to do a clean install of Leopard and use Migration Assistant to restore files, folders, network settings and other preferences. The Storage Bits take Apple has compiled an enviable record of trouble-free operating system updates, especially in the dot releases.
