Ian,
Since IEEE 1394 is provided by Windows 2000 out-of-the-box,
I expect that the same is valid for XP.

well thats an astonishing amount of work on this site, and very interesting

plainly ridiculous

Generally the drivers you want are prepared/written by the company that
manufacturers the card. They are included in Windows if there is enough demand
or need. I recall reading then there is a cut off for hardware that is more
then two years old. So unless your Firewire card was manufactured
I do agree with regard to the comparison with the 4x5, yet the fact that
the lens is not the best available gives even more emphasis to the visible
difference between scans at various dpi. After all, had these tests been
made with a 3.000$ Leica lens, a lot of people would be left wondering
Gordon,
Minolta told me that the MSMP cannot use Firewire with WIN98 even with
an IEEE1394 pci card.
I don't want to spend £250 for WINXP Prof.

Well, since I haven't acquired XP yet
(and I will probably refrain from it as long as possible)
I can't really contradict you if you state that it isn't.

As far as I heard, there are two versions of XP: XP Home or XP Professional
(or XP Office).
Among certain differences, Professional offers immediate support for
FireWire while Home not.
There are the chances I'm wrong, but that what I heard.

Paul, I understand your frustration from his test setup but camera body
wouldn't mind a lot.
You obviously meant lens not to be adequate for such kind of comparisons,
right ?
Though not being Canon user, I still think that Elan would suit the test but
the equipped with pro-quality optics.
If anybody interesting I can put some parts of full resolution scans on
my home page.
You can find already some results from FS4000 at:

Cary,
It is Minolta who saiud that that it their MSMP which will not work with
WIN98/IEE1394. Minolta is not saying that Win98 will not work (or vise
versa) with the IEEE1394 pci card.

Alex,
We are saying exactly the same thing. It surprises me that :
A) Microsoft did not include IEEE1394 in the Home version
B) Minolta did not make the MSMP with Win98 and an IEEE1394/PCI card
and ;
C) Minolta have no SCSI support for Windows XP
Kind of narrows down the choice!

It was a choice between ME (which is worse in some ways than 98 Second Ed.)

say that I have enough new components that going to 98/ME/2000 made no sense

The scanner is not good. First of all, there is no way to get 10 bits per
second as the scanner claims it it. It always comes out 8bits/channel. That
is not good. Also, the histogram looks terrible after you get the image.

The following link say MSFT Home version of XP does support Fire Wire.
It's XP Home and XP Pro. Your statement is wrong. Firewire is supported in
any version of XP. Home and Pro are the same operating system. Home just
lacks some optional features of Pro.
Any XP driver works in any XP version.

Make a backup copy of your vuescan.ini, then install the new version. You
won't have to re-enter the registration number and you definitely don't
need a new one. Just replace the vuescan.ini
That is certainly not the case with vertical shutters, which
all but one of
my 35mm cameras have (Contaxes and Nikons), the exception being
my Leica M.
It _is_ related to the synch speed,
I'm not convinced this is true with all FP cameras. It may very well be,
and it does make sense.
Just delete the folder with the previous version and install the new - your
registration will remain automatically.

Just download it. The installation process overwrites the executable, and

Fast sync speeds being desirable, maximum sync in any particular

You don't even need to back-up and replace the vuescan.ini - it doesn't contain the
program registration. The benefit of backing it up and then replacing the new
vuescan.ini is to save your settings for default folder, color tab settings, etc.

I use an Epson 836XL tabloid scanner. It's 800SPI which is just fine for

what you do need is size! A 36 exposure 35mm contact sheet doesn't fit on
the letter scanners...so I had to move up to a tabloid. The other option
