On the one hand, due to the random positioning and their transparent
nature, they can make for a very small apparent resolution because they
can overlap in all sorts of random patterns making areas much smaller
than a fixed array of pixels which would read

Thanks, It would appear the C70 hasn't made it over the great water yet.
It does look like a less expensive version of the C80. Hope it comes
our way soon.

I received my new SS4000 scanner today which did not come with a SCSI card.
I currently have a Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI Controler, but it has a
different type of connector - a small 60 pin with spring clips on both
sides. It is hooked to an old HP ScanJet 5p. Is there likely to be an
adapter
Dave,
Am I correct the primary improvement is the addition of film terms?
They provided a large number of profiles as part of the package, but the
primary benefit would be the significantly improved negative scanning tools.
they are much easier to sue and allow a greater degree of fine tuning

Go for an adapter. Buying them locally is best so nothing gets
confused (male/female, type of connector, etc) and you can return it if
things still don't come out right. Are you sure it's 60 pins? High
