[filmscanners] RE: Nikon Coolscan LS4000 not recognised

["RM Lane" <rmathuln@pacbell.net>]

Is the Firewire port on the motherboard, or is it too a PCI card?
If it is a PCI card, there could be IRQ conflicts between the modem and the
Firewire card. If they are both PCI cards, try taking the modem out and see
if it fixes the problem. If it does, try using different PCI slots. Also,
try uninstalling the modem, restart the computer, then reinstall the modem
while the LS4000 is connected and turned on. If you installed the modem
while the scanner was turned off, Windows PNP thought the IRQ was free and
used it for the modem. Having the scanner on when you reinstall the modem
should prevent that.

It's doubtful, but anything is possible.

However, I'm curious about this thing you installed. Is it an actual DSL
modem that goes inside the computer, and has a phone line plugged into it?
DSL is usually handled by an external modem that connects to your computer
with Ethernet.
