Will the LS-4000 cable up to most IEEE 1394 firewire PCI cards using XP
as an operating system. Why wasn't this scanner USB compatable?

thanks

According to Nikon's website, the LS-4000 supports USB 1.1.

Not Firewire, and not USB 2.x.

That is very bizarre. It seems to be confused between the LS-4000 and
the LS-40.

The same thing happened when I started from this link:

I briefly had an LS-4000 and needed a firewire card for it. I got an
el-cheapo, which would have worked had the scanner not been damaged.
Got a refund BTW, having brought it on Ebay. The seller had failed to
pack it correctly. :(

The LS-40, or Coolscan IV, is a USB unit. The Coolscan 4000 is
firewire, which has a higher data transfer rate. My Coolscan 4000 is
plugged into my motherboard's firewire port (not using the Nikon card);
it works fine.
