The CoolScan 4000 ED was firewire and the CoolScan IV ED was USB; the
CoolScan 5000 ED was firewire and the CoolScan V ED was USB.
I wonder why there was no CoolScan IX ED USB version to go along with
the CoolScan 9000 ED?

Sorry to hear that, John. Such it is.
BTW: All of the Nikon medium format scanners were equipped only with FireWire
to the best of my knowledge. At the time they were made, USB was considered to
simply not have the consistent performance required for the data volume they
move. That's changed over the years since, of course, but all the great Nikon
scanners are long discontinued now.

I'd really like to have it, but that's way out of my price range even if it was
the USB model and not firewire.

I have an excellent condition Nikon SuperCoolscan 9000 ED for sale.
It's absolutely the best film scanner I've ever used for everything from
scanning Minox 8x11 to 6x17cm negatives. Superb for 35mm work: automated scans
of up to 12 exposures at a time with a suberb, soft light source that minimizes
Works beautifully on macOS, Windows, or Linux with VueScan. I think I have the
NikonScan disks for it too, but am not sure.
It's in the original box and includes all cables, the original carriers, as
well as an ANR glass carrier too.
Price: I see recent sales on Ebay for this scanner in condition and with
equipment similar to mine that run between $2500 and $3200. The ANR glass
negative carriers usuall sell for $400-500. So a reasonable offer in the $2800
to $3000 range, not including shipping, for the whole kit is my offer for PDML
folks.
Shipping: It's a large, delicate, and heavy package and needs premium shipping
by a good carrier with full insurance. I would think around $100 would cover
most locations in the USA, but I'll do the research if and when someone makes
an offer for it.
Transparency: I'm also offering it on a couple of other photo forums I
participate on, and will likely post it to Ebay for sale in a week if there are
no inquiries from any of the non-commercial offerings.
