[filmscanners] Re: the minolta 5400II

["ppatton@bgnet.bgsu.edu" <ppatton@bgnet.bgsu.edu>]

hotbuyselectronics.com still has the Konica-Minolta Dimage 5400
II scanner available for the quite reasonable price of $489.98.
I just recieved one that I ordered from them yesterday.
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to scan anything, because
I can't get the motorized drive to accept the slide feeder.  When
I insert the slide feeder, the motor makes a grinding noise, and
something bumps up against the feeder, but the scanner does not
accept the feeder.  Has anybody experienced this problem?  I'm
going to call Konica-Minolta/Sony technical support again
tommorrow, and if it is defective, I may have to return it to the
dealer for replacement--if they still have more.
