All non flat film have a problem in Nikon scanners despite if you are using
manual film holder or the motor unit.. I prefer the manual film holder. (
quick and easy and keep the film flater)
I have seen new scratches in the film surface made by the motor unit in my
2 Nikon scanners LS2000 and 4000..
I don't know if 3.1.1 is stable on a IBM related computer. My pc is a MAC
and if I allocate lot of memory to the software there are no problem with
3.1.1 or the PS plugin. I prefere to use Silverfast and
Vuescan who are faster than NikonScan.. Nikonscan are terrible slow with
filters and CMS on.
