Re: filmscanners: Re: Nikon LS4000ED inquiry + Mac OS 9.x Fixed

[Eric Calderwood <eric.calderwood@btinternet.com>]

Bill ,

I've finally sorted what it was ( I must be stupid ) , I tried VueScan with
all periphs powered up ( and all Nikon extensions disabled ) .

VueScan saw the Umax ok but not the Nikon .

I then put one of the adapters into the Nikon and Bingo all ok.

Have re-tried with just the Nikon powered up ( with an adapter inserted )
and also all ok.

Thanks to all who tried to help.

Boy am I glad to get this fixed .

Best Regards
Eric
