I have a Polaroid Sprintscan 4000. It's a great scanner, but the problem is that it had a scsi interface. So for a few years now it forced me to keep my old Windows PC around.
I bought this: http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/FR1SX.html It's a SCSI->Firewire interface. I just tried it, and it works beautifully. Vuescan sees the Polaroid from OSX in my Powerbook, and the scans even look better than they did with Silverfast from the PC (or maybe I'm just happy about not having to use Windows ever again.) Highly recommended if you have an older scsi scanner that you want to use with a newer machine. I think I will be shooting more film now. Speaking of Vuescan--if all I want to do is save 16 bit scans, to be processed in PS later, I don't really need to get the pro version, right? j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com photoblog: http://photoblog.jbuhler.com a book: http://www.jbuhler.com/book.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
