>From the UK mag "PC Pro" a 8*10 @ 2400dpi (I'm less than convinced you'll
see any more than at 1200dpi with printed image but I suppose it's a simple
test). It also doesn't say but I guess we are talking 8bit data as 16bit is
2.5GB!
USB2 15 minutes 23 seconds
Firewire 16 minutes 16 seconds
USB 32 minutes 16 seconds
- as you can see it is worth fixing for larger amounts of data (at 300 dpi
USB took 20 seconds against 15 for firewire or USB2). A quick estimate would
be 35mm 2400dpi 16bit RGB will be 10-20 seconds slower with USB 1.1.
The review may be on the web at :
you need to register.
They liked it a lot, even for transparencies but they don't do much film
scanning so I think it is of limited relevance to the list.

I have an Epson 2450 which is designed to utilize USB2 (backwards
compatible to 1.1) OR.. Firewire..I'm operating ona 733 P3 with 768MEG of
ram on W98SE factory install....I purchased a PCI card for USB 2..My
computer crashed upon turning the sanner "OFF"...
I then purchased a FIREWIRE card, and the scanner would not recignize it at
all..
Calls to Epson and the PCI card manufacturers..gave me NO answers..
BTW..the scanner DOES work fine on USB1.1, and obviously scans at the same
speed regardless of connection, although I'm sure I'm losing some speed on
the data transfer which doesn't really seem to be a problem....Just my $2.00
worth..(inflation you know)..

I am using a Polaroid SS4000+ which also is both USB and Firewire.
At least with the beta instructions, people running Win 98 (I'm using SE
2) were told to stay with USB. If there is a way to use firewire, I'd
also like to know.
