My point was.... either you have the interface you need or you don't.  If
you have a PC, odds are you don't.  Apparently if you have a Mac, you do.

I didn't, I do now, and wish I didn't need to..... The card or card driver
is/has been giving me trouble for a while.....  A fresh OS may get me back
to where I was.....

Never seen a problem with USB.....  this Firewire stuff is not exactly
bulletproof on a PC.....

Frank,
 
The Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED runs on Firewire which is rated at either 400 or
800 mbps. USB II is rated at 480 mbps, however in the real world both
Firewire versions are actually faster then USB II.
 
An automobile analogy would be USB II has the horsepower but Firewire has
the torque, quess which one gets you to speed faster?
