Does anyone out there own a Minolta Scan Dual II (or III or IV, for

I bought one a while back, to digitize my APS film.. worked great
for that.
I just got back from a diving trip, and we picked up a cheap 35mm
re-usable dive camera. I can't seem to get the scanner to load the
35mm tray. The scanning software keeps complaining about the film
strip holder not being in its proper place. How far do you push
this thing in? The manual describes a film holder that is slightly
different from the one I have.. min is side hinged, and is missing a
"load to here" mark.
(got the scanner off ebay, a couple years ago. was I given the
wrong film holder?)
Help!?
If it's the same as my Scan Dual III, make sure the scanner door is
set to the 35mm position (Full down is APS, there's a mild detent
when it hits the 35mm position) then feed the 35mm adaptor in until
you feel/hear a click, it's further than you think, it will then pull
the holder in the rest of the way.

Thanks, I'll try again once it's done scanning the APS roll I threw
in. (found one more and thought I'd test the unit, just in case)
But.. That's basically what I did. Nothing happened, and I ended up
pushing the holder in as far as I could, without the scanner doing
anything. how far would you say you push it in? Past the first
negative window?

The only way the SDIII (note the SD2 may be different, but I doubt it)
will slide the holder all the way in is if the scanner door is down past
the 35mm detent. Otherwise I push it in until I hear a click(which is
right at the end of the first frame), there should be a line on the
holder that indicates how far you need to push it in, but you should
feel it take up and then click in and feed.
