Minolta Dual Scan II, Firewire
Hey guys,
Anyone still scanning film? I have a Dual scan that causes a blue screen under win7 64bit using the firewire connection. It works fine with USB. Any solutions? TIA Martin |

Martin- I can't answer your question, but my experience may be relevant. I have the older Minolta Dimage Scan Dual with SCSI ports. Using a Microtech SCSI to FireWire adapter with the VueScan program, I have been successful scanning slides and negatives. Minolta's drivers stopped being updated years ago. The VueScan program has no difficulty working with the Minolta film scanner, as well as an old Acer flatbed USB scanner and a relatively new Canon USB flatbed scanner. I suggest you download the trial version of VueScan to see if it will solve your problem. Fred |

Run Win in 32 bit mode if you can. Also, echoing Fred I'd try Vuescan - unless the issue is specifically Firewire/Dual Scan/Win 7-64b, that might get you out of it. (Specifically - I seem to recall that the Minolta s/w will not run under 64b on Win). At least you have USB as a backup. I have to use an adaptor from Thunderbolt to FW (which I need for another device anyway, so no biggie). I used to have the Dual Scan and the 5400 (1st gen) - nice scanners. (And yes, I still scan film, albeit not nearly as much as I used to). -- ... it may be that "in the cloud" really isn't the best term for the services these companies offer.

It has the vendor Id's and periphial Id's to setup the scanner. THe original Dualscan software works fine on WIN7 64bit. Apparently WIN7's 1394 drivers were changed, but even the recomendations of selecting the Legacy 1394 driver did not work for me. Maybe I'll try a firwire adaptor, I think I have one floating around somewhere. Comparing it with my Epson V330, it does a better job. Cheers |

Out of ideas, I went back to the standard WIN7 OHCI driver but I selected the Dual scan 5400 firewire device from the minolta.inf during the Scan elite II install. ( I know I had said Dual Scan II) Seems to work, gives me the correct 2400dpi resolution for the scanner and scans properly. Thanks Martin |

No problems using a Coolscan 8000 ED with Vuescan on Windows 7. Same here with a 9000ED, firewire, with Win7 64bit, with Nikonscan. There is a site that explains how to set it up for Win7 64. Works famously with vuescan as well. |
