The Nikon LS-1000 does not come with a SCSI card, nor do other Nikon models I have experience of; don't know about the LS-2000. So you will probably have to buy one. An Adaptec AVA-1505 or equivalent is plenty quick enough and reasonably cheap. The faster cards are fine for SCSI hard drives etc, but the transfer rate from the scanner is not fast enough to require the extra performance from the card. The AVA-1505 or equivalent is about the cheapest card around, so buy that and spend the money you saved on RAM. You can run Photoshop under Win95 on 64 meg- indeed, with sufficient patience you can run it on 32meg- but in real terms 128meg is about the practical minimum if you're doing large graphics files. (Win98 will require a bit more RAM) The machine I use for most of the graphics work is 450m/hertz with 256 Mb RAM and a 20 Gig hard disk- like someone said, those graphics files eat up the storage. In Photoshop this machine is fine but in Pagemaker 6.5 it's still a bit slow.................. But then, once upon a time we thought DX4's were fast......... Cheers Rod
