Re: Nikon LS1000 & Win 2K

[Kerry Dressler <kerry@bio-photo.com>]

I want to thank every one who made suggestions to help me.  I tried every 
thing suggested.  As someone else has noted, I was talking about the 
LS1000, not the LS 2000 and I could not update my twain driver from Nikon Tech.

I am using the Adaptec 2940U SCSI card and I have the EZ-SCSI deluxe 5.0 
software, so I next tried to update the SCSI card and 
software.  Unfortunately Adaptec does NOT have an update for my card.. only 
the 2940UW and it didn't work with my card.  I called Adaptec and was 
talked into paying the $35 fee for "problem resolution".  The tech told me 
the card could not be updated, and the EZ-SCSI  would crash my system and 
that is *all* the infomation I got for $35!

So I decided to try the solution suggested by Ned and installed the 
software anyway.  The first time my Photoshop 6 became unstable and I had 
to completely uninstall it and reinstall.  I did the same to EZ-SCSI and 
the 2nd time was a charm!  I was able to scan a slide using the twain 
driver within PS 6.  I don't know if anything else will crash, but will 
take it as it comes!

I also heard from someone who suggested the Silverfast driver would work, 
but I'm not certain I want to spend $180 for the driver when I really want 
to get the newer scanner (and perhaps the newer version of Silverfast) in 
the future.

Thank you all again,

Kerry

 >install Adaptec EZ-SCSI that came with the scanner. Everyone warns against
doing this (I do not understnd why). However, my floppy disk with the
EZ-SCSI actually went bad and i called nikon to get a new one. They sent me
a CD with a newer version which i tried and it worked also. The tech
suppoort person warned me not to use it as it would screw up some things
like Windows Media Player (which it did not). I then installed the Twain
driver and everything worked!
I then also then removed the EZ-SCSI nad the scanner continued to work!!!! I
also tried this in WinXP and it also allowed the Twain driver to work.
Just my experiences in a home brew PC (athlon 1200, ASUS a7V MoBo with the
VIA chipset).
