Re: filmscanners: Firewire IEEE1394

Alex,

We are saying exactly the same thing.   It surprises me that :

A) Microsoft did not include IEEE1394 in the Home version
B) Minolta did not make the MSMP with Win98 and an IEEE1394/PCI card
and ;
C) Minolta have no SCSI support for Windows XP

Kind of narrows down the choice!
