Re: filmscanners: Nikonscan 3.0 with Win98 / Win98SE for LS30/LS2000
FWIW here is the response from Nikon USA support to the question "Will Nikonscan 3.0 work with the LS2000 on Win 98 original (not SE)?" They may not know much, but are at least candid about it. - Dear Julian Robinson: While Nikon Scan 3.X will someday work with the LS2000, the current initial release is not recommended. As to whether Win 98 not SE will work, we can speculate but I learned a long time ago not to second guess new software. Nikon Scan 3.0 cannot be on the same platform as previous Nikon Scans. You are definitely getting into the realm of experimentation. I wish you well and good luck on your own. - I was guessing that it was the Firewire that required the Win98SE version, so will probably download it and try tomorrow.

The reason it states you require Win98 se is for the LS4000 as Win98 does not support firewall interface. Dale Julian Robinson in usually sunny, smog free Canberra, Australia

Julian: The specs for my LS-40 that came with Nikon Scan 3.0 call for Win 98SE. I don't know if that is required for the USB support or if it is an issue with NS 3.0. I do like NS 3.0. My present work flow method is to launch NS 3.0 as a TWAIN import on Photoshop 6 and scan with factory default settings except to select the film type and, with color positives or negatives, to turn on the Digital ICE. I then do all my adjustments in Photoshop. It is really great to see how much I can dig out of dark slides. So far the LS-40 and NS 3.0 are meeting my expectations - but what do I know, I'm new to this. - Original Message - From: "Julian Robinson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 4:52 PM Subject: filmscanners: Nikonscan 3.0 with Win98 / Win98SE for LS30/LS2000 I want to try Nikonscan 3 too (with LS2000), but can't work out if I must have Win98SE or not.

Should work fine. Me has Firewire support built-in Tom What about Windows ME. Gordon Edwin Eleazer wrote: The manual states that Win 98 SE is required.
