I just got my LS-2000 scanner!. The LS-2000 comes with a "CHEAP" SCSI card which should be discarded!. The connector on the back of the NIKON SCSI card is a 25 pin connection. I already had a much better Adaptec 2940UW installed in the computer running 5 other devices. When the NIKON SCSI was installed together with the Adaptec, lots of things failed to work. The LS-2000 has a 50 pin mini connector reducing to a 25 pin into the NIKON SCSI card. I replaced the "oddball" NIKON cable with another cable having a 50 pin mini on both ends. Everything worked much better. The 2940UW instantly recognized the LS-2000 and after installing the driver from LS-2000's CD-ROM it was ready to use (less than 5 min install start to finish). Speed should be better because of the 50 pin to 50 pin connection rather than the 25 pin connectors slower thru-put. For the price NIKON is charging for this scanner, they could at least include a standard SCSI card and cable. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
