I got my Ratoc FR1SX SCSI-to-Firewire adapter last week... but discovered it wouldn;t connect to the old-style 25-pin D-connector on my Minilta Scan Multi II so I had to order an adapter. Well the adapter arrived today!
It took a couple of hours of computer wrestling to get it to work - not really because installation or configuration was difficult, but because the machine-translated-from-Japanese-to-English-probably-through-several-oth er-languages-along-the-way manual made it seem that way. During the process I discovered that there are newer drivers for my scanner, so I guess there was some additional benefit gained. So now my scanner is working its way through a batch of 30 slides as I write this :) By the way, the configuration software for the SCSI-to-Firewire converter, is the FR1 utility and is designated "FRUITY" by the manufacturer. I kid you not. So now I'm left wondering if it's better to be "SCSI" or "FRUITY". Frankly, I don't think I want to know, -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
