Hi Paul,
Here's a link to the archived download
Thanks for all the answers to my question, but I have decided not to buy
this particular scanner. The seller wants more money for it than I am
willing to pay.
It was good to see the list wake up and spring into action -- my thanks
to the participants, and to Tony Sleep for keeping the list going.
As I am sure you know Polaroid has gone through several owners in the
last few years.
I don't see an Australian contact. The closest seems to be Japan and
China.
I have emailed their customer support in the US to ask about access to
these parts, and will see what they have to say, if anything.

Now with a few small additions and edits for clarity.
NB this is not currently indexed from my site menus as, like a bunch of
similarly hidden motorcycle features it is really off-topic for the site,
so
Regarding vuescan, if you bought it in the era when there was only one version
of the program, you DO have what is now the pro version and will get free
updates. Ed, unlike me, keeps great paperwork. He should have you purchase

That works! I didn't even notice the 4 screws securing the top of the carriage
as they were black--not the same silver color as the other screws.
The top half of my mirror was dusty. The lens looks fine. I think my scans are
better now.
Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, Polaroid, or their consigns still offer
service and parts for the Sprintscan 4000 scanners. Since the product
was made for Polaroid by Microtek, they may also have service and parts
available.
I would find $50 a very low price for a properly working SS scanner.

I have used one on a PC successfully; but you need to know if there are
drivers for your Mac since these adapters all require platform specific
drivers. You also need to know what version of SCSI the adapter works with
SCSI 1, SCSI II, SCSI III, and what SCSI cable connections the adapter works

RGBI would make sense for raw, but I assume you are going do to light IR
cleanup.
I'd would use neutral. It compensates a bit for the dynamic range of the
film.

would do it raw and RGBI TIFF. But if you just want to save RGB,

The Vuescan IR is pretty good. However, I view film scanning like

Why?
I get a couple of hundred spams a day and I simply use the built-in spam
filter in Vista's Windows Mail; it is the best I have come across. It only
misses about 1 in a 100, and takes out far fewer genuine emails, so a quick
