It feels really nostalgic coming back to the list after 8 years or so. I am
glad it is still there! (Thanks Tony!)
Last week I wanted to test if the old PCI application still works with XP
SP3 (my old vuescan version certainly did not like SP3, and Ed has changed
the licencing scheme and upgrades
The recent posts about selling a Sprintscan reminded me to post this question
again:
I need to use my Sprintscan 4000 on a 2008 Mac Pro without a SCSI adapter card.
I have seen SCSI-to-USB cables such as this:
Addlogix USB-XFormer 2.0 USB 2.0 to Ultra SCSI/Adapter (usb2-uscsi) Storage
Controll
I asked this question a while back, I think.
Now that I have a late model Mac Pro and an old SprintScan 4000, I am tiring of
dragging out my old Dell computer with its SCSI card to do my slide scanning.
Have any of you used the USB --> SCSI adapters, such as the one made by Ratoc?

I read recently (here, I think) that someone had been informed that the
Sprintscan 120 had been discontinued. I just checked the Polaroid website
and, in fact, it is the Sprintscan 4000 Plus that has disappeared. The 120
and 45 are still shown. Has anyone read any announcements of the SS4000+'s

By request, here is a re-post of how I accessed the mirror for cleaning
without dismantling the works. I did remove the top cover, which pops off
after four catches on the bottom are sprung open.
The mirror of course hinges while scanning, so I turned on the scanner power
(with the lid removed),
My SS4000 was having that well-known problem where it would grind
away incessantly and refuse to accept any film holders.
I got the free brush from Polaroid, and that kept the problem at bay for
a few weeks, but it came roaring back with a vim, and now I can't get

Polaroid has on order since December 500 SS4000 slide holders. I am trying

Wow! I've heard of inflation but...

I am told the rebate request MUST include the UPC Code, and a receipt
showing date of purchase, dealer , price paid, and rebate form.
If for any reason what is provided is unacceptable the customer is notified.

The Sprintscan 4000 Plus is now listed at eCost for $14500. See

David,
That's good news, I think, unless it means the successor is
delayed. Within reason, can you give us a hint on the release date for the
SS4000 plus? I'd prefer the USB/1394 connections of the SS4000 plus &
they'd be worth some add'l cost over the great deals on SS4000's now (along

David,
Can you confirm if the rebate is available to Canadians from Canadian
addresses?
The coupon I saw via ecost only mentioned US purchases.
Also, do you have any idea why Canadian retailers are not moving from
their original "list" price of about $2200 CAN on the SS4000, while it
is selling
Thanks David - appreciate the info.
The rebate program on the Sprintscan 4000 has been extended until the end of
the year.
Some of you have asked about the receipt. A receipt is required. I have no
direct knowledge on how ecost works but as a avid rebater I often have to
contact the vendor and have them send me via fax or email a r
Vry interesting. Is this valid for Europe (namely, Italy), too?

Just FYI - I checked BH Photo's website today, and for the second
time in about a month or two the price on the Polaroid Sprintscan 4000
has dropped. It is now down to $899.95. I may have to jump in
to the water soon, as this is getting to be a great deal.
