It is the old SS4000 without USB. Yes I think I will keep the old PC if there is no easy solution.

If the latter you're all set. Why not keep a machine which has PCI slots, like your current Windows computer? Or get an ancient Mac G4 for $50 and stuff your current SCSI adaptor in it. The old Mac and new one will network easily -- the Windows machine will cause a lot of little problems with file naming conventions, and so on, but is workable. I keep my scanners (including a SS4000) on a separate computer from my work machine because I find it easier to deal with that way. The interface card works, the scanner software works and is not upset with/by new releases of the work machine's OS, and so on. I use the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse for both machines with a "KVM switch" (KVM -> Keyboard, Video, Mouse) which cost about $50. HTH! --------------------------- I currently am using my Polaroid SprintScan 4000 on a Windows computer with an installed SCSI card. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
