well, you have 2 different issues to consider.
one is that it is a USB 2 device. It should work with USB 1, but slower.
two is are their actually drivers for it to work under OS 8.6.
The confusion from some 3rd part resellers is almost assuredly the USB 1 vs USB 2 issue.
you need to be concerned with the driver/software issue.
Contact Epson, and look into any read-me files associated with the software for the RX620.
I got one of them for $100 with a $100 rebate from Staples, and am fighting with Epson about a second $100 rebate direct from Epson. Tomorrow I contact Epson legal, then the state's attorney general. The Epson rebate form says costco is excluded (but not anyone else) but they rejected it as it had a Staples rebate as well.
Not my problem is my position. your form doesn't exclude it. I took screen captures of everything in case they change the website as a result of my badgering them. For $100, I will give them hell.
