Gary,
I have not used Vuescan of recent so I do not know if the current versions
require or not the factory driver to be installed; I was under the
impression that Ed did not rely on Twain drivers but developed his own
proprietary driver as a substitute for the OEM TWAIN drivers. As for

Often Vuescan needs the factory driver to be installed. A few devices Ed
can drive directly.
BTW, Vuescan under X64 is not all that stable. Expect a crash every
other roll. It has to do with how X64 handles USB.
In many ways, X64 is a really good operating system. Remember, it is

A bit OT, but I've been running X64 for about 3 years. Vuescan saved my
arse regarding my Epson 5400II. I got a cheap Canon for document work,

If you can't get scanner drivers, find an O/S where you can, and run
it in a VM. I run an old Agfa Snapscan from a W98 VM under XP.

Laurie,
My plan is to keep a 32-bit machine around for the SS120 and My old
Epson Stylus Photo 1200. Then upgrade my main computer to XP 64. An
Epson tech told me last year that that he could send me the 64-bit
drivers for my Epson 1640 scanner, however, I didn't ask him to do that
and I still d
I believe none of the Polaroid scanners are being supported beyond
32-bit Windows XP or the same era Mac OS. About a year ago I contacted
Polaroid, asking them if they would be providing 64-bit drivers for my
SprintScan 120. I had recently upgraded to a 64-bit computer. Polaroid
informed me that

Yup, nothing wrong with USB2 (so long as it's not plugged and unplugged
too many times). I have lots of USB and no FW in use, never had an issue.
Tony,
You may be correct about film scanners using a SCSI-2 interface; but I
believe that my Minolta Dimage Scan Multi (the original version) was SCSI-1.
At any rate, I noted that the specs say that the converter/adapter supported
only a SCSI-2 interface just in case there were film scanners that

SS4000 is SCSI-2, definitely. I'm still using mine :)

I'm running an SS4000 on a Win XP laptop through an Adaptec 1480B. The card
is supported under Vista, but I don't know what to expect for the scanner.

As far as I know, all filmscanners that appeared with SCSI interfaces used

It is the old SS4000 without USB. Yes I think I will keep the old PC if there
is no easy solution.
