CoolScan 9000 Device

[wenhan_xue]

<p>I am using CoolScan 9000 for my medium format. The super scan uses 6-pin to 6-pin IEEE 1394 firewire for interaction from computer. I connected to computer which comes with 4-pin and was asked to install <strong>IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device </strong>(Of course I used 6-pin to 4-pin cable). I checked the package and did not find any. I went to Nikon web site for info, but was unlucky as well. Did I miss something here? Thanks.</p>

<p>Is the computer a notebook? If so, you may be able to find a device that fits into the "card slot" on your computer that offers one or more 1394 connectors. If it's a desktop, and if there is an empty PCI slot, you can buy a Firewire card and install it rather easily. (Most have 6 wire 1394 connectors and some offer extra USB connectors as well.) They aren't expensive. <br>

Good luck.</p>

<p>You connected the scanner to the firewire port, turned it on, turned on the computer, tried to install/run Nikon Scan and it suggested that message? Precisely in what context? Thanks.</p>

<p>First of all, are you using the Nikon supplied Firewire card in your PC? If not, you are quite hosed and you have to try different ones.</p>
