Sorry for your struggles. However, you can get SCSI card
In response to a question posted on another forum from somebody wanting to
scan a lot of old slides, I wrote the following advice and roundup of
low-cost scanners. I thought there are probably lurkers on this list that
are looking for the same type of information, so I'm reposting it here, at
the
connectors since the G3
days. The timing is not different and no adapter is needed. I currently
use a PowerMac G4 Dual 450Mhz with a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 100e directly
connected with the standard cable and it works beautifully.

p.s. to avoid inquiring emails, yes I work for Intel

"tell application photoshop to open file XXX" should do the job. Look at

Can you give some real-world numbers on how long a normal scan and a ICE
scan take?
Thanks!

Interesting that they list FARE as a feature on this flatbed scanner.
FARE is the name they gave to their IR defect

I sent in a similar question about wallet size prints. I'm surprised they
aren't more responsive with exact resolution specs, aspect ratios, white
point, and colorsync profiles since they are after higher end business

Ed,
A few films that I commonly use do not have profiles in VueScan.
Can they be added? I can help provide sample scans if you tell me how.

- Kodak Royal Gold 400 Gen 3 (or 4...I just recall that I had a roll that
