Firewire and Windows98 with apologies if this is old news: This URL may help, it leads to a patch named 242975USA8.EXE (583KB) to update Win98SE for firewire:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/1394/ Default.asp Nikon, I believe, have found that by applying that patch their firewire 8000 filmscanner works with Win98se. This is their reference to a pdf giving a FW installation guide: www.nikontechusa.com/PDF/IEEE1394Rm.pdf or Google's link in html: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cache:4MziGSCZZkoC:www.nikontechusa.com/PDF/IEEE1394Rm.pdf+242975USA8.EXE+microsoft&hl=en I have not tried this patch as I was investigating for a friend with a Minolta Scan Multi Pro (reviewed: http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/DSMP/DSMA.HTM) - but that's still on back order. Lastly, this faq 1024 from Minolta USA: http://www.minoltausa.com/eprise/main/MinoltaUSA/MUSAContent/CPG/CPG_Faqs/CPG_FaqDetail/Faq1024 says that this combination is compatible, istr. Regards, Nigel.
