Re: [Digital BW] Ideas on getting a Nikon LS2000 working on a Thunderbolt iMac?

2013-07-05 by jimbo

Hey Eric, 
That's good news .. but I need to ask you ..did you do anything special to get it to install.. I have a Dell 690 / 8 core 64 bit running win 7 and tried it and it was a no go. I would love to have it run on this machine.. So what did you do? It's 32 bit software..

  "Nikon Scan 4.0.3 does run on Vista and OSX 10.4.3 ..I know it does not work
  on OSX 10.5 and Win 7.."

  Wrong O Jimbo. I have Nikon running on Win 7 64 bit. It works FINE!!!!

  Paul, The Raytoc scsi to firewire is , I think, the best. All of these
  things have pretty much stopped production and the scsi to firewire chip is
  no longer made. Belkin made one also but it wasn't as good I understand..
  You are after one that has switchable parameters to deal with system or
  software issues.. I just searched eBay and their is one out there.. 350.00
  ...Here's the url
  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ratoc-FR1SX-Firewire-to-SCSI-adapter-/330950295349?p
  t=US_FireWire_Cables_Adapters

  &hash=item4d0e2cbf35#ht_735wt_1213

  If you want to run a new OS and system this is the path you need to take..
  The other option is to just keep an older computer going to run it.. If you
  move up to an LS5000 which is USB .. and you want to run WIN 7 or OSX
  Leopard you'll need to use Viewscan or Silverfast.. Nikon Scan 4.0.3 does
  run on Vista and OSX 10.4.3 ..I know it does not work on OSX 10.5 and Win
  7..

  So it's choices based on how you want to end up.. A little coaching on the
  Raytoc.. FR1SX ..If you can afford one it's as a good a place as any to have
  a few bucks sit .. Their's a lot of 20k scanners and scan backs out there
  that use them. I have a Betterlight 8k back and we were lucky as the owner
  of Betterlight gave us all a heads up that these things were going away so
  many of us picked up a few. I've seen them for over 400 bucks.. Anyway maybe
  not the best news but at least you have choices..

  Thanks Tina,

  But do you use some sort of adapter to get from the scanner's SCSI cord to
  your computer?
