Where is the Index Mask I/O pin? I was looking at a software solution before modifying the hardware. I was going to create a component that would set index-mask to "on" while the encoder count was below some threshold, 2.5 * 4000 in my case, then enable it after that. Above, the threshold, index-mask will be off and the encoder will trigger, reset the count to 0, and reset index-enable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
