Hi,

I see the files: coolscan2.conf, coolscan3.conf and coolscan.conf in my sane directory. I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED connected to my Dell Latitude 5410. When I put "scanimage -L" into my terminal I get : ('v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated_Webcam_HD: Integrate virtual device) for a response. I think this is the laptop's camera, not the Nikon.

I am using PCLinuxOS a Mandrake fork, I have xsane and sane installed. Checking dmesg, I find no reference to the Nikon Coolscan being detected. I have the SA-21 module plugged in. I have a new USB to Firewire adapter-cable purchased from Amazon connected to the laptop. I had the Nikon turned on prior to turning on the laptop so it would / should see the Nikon during boot-up.

Do you have any suggestions for me to try?

These cables are usually just connector adaptors: they often don't actually include a firewire to USB bridge.

You could check your cable and might find you need to get a firewire HBA of some type.



Best wishes,
@ndy
