Re: filmscanners: Subject: 4000 ED and updating IEEE 1394 driver in 98 SE

Well,I managed to set it up and install everything finally,and have just 
spent a few hours getting to know it,and i have to say i am very impressed 
with the scans it produces.I think you may well be right,and i might not 
need the glass holder Gordon,but i will probably try it out anyway just to 
see for myself if there is any difference:)

I will have to experiment some more with it,but so far, at least the 
central portions of the images look as good to me as Kodak photo CD 
scans,which is all i can compare them to due to my limited scanner experience.

Seeing these first few scans has really enthused me,and i have no doubt 
that buying this scanner was the right choice !

Thanks again to all for your help and advice.
