Title: RE: filmscanners: Vuescan 7.1.1.4 not working with Mic

Hello Ed, Hello Dean and all of the list,

Thanks Dean for your reply; yes, I can also try to use the scanner as an USB device although I am pretty sure that it will be MUCH slow.

Do you know if the scanner as USB connection will work with VueScan 7.1.X ???.... and if this worth to use the slow USB port with Vuescan or the fast FireWire with Silverfast 5.X...... What a question and trade off?!

Any comment is appreciated :-)
