I'm considering replacing my Nikon LS-2000 scanner with something
newer. A check of the NikonUSA site shows three scanners: the V ED,
the 5000, and the 9000. The V ED and 5000 use USB 2.0 and the 9000
uses IEEE 1394.
My [legacy] computer uses SCSI -- and that's the reason I have the
LS-2000. I have added a PCI card (Sonnet Tango) that supports IEEE
1394 and USB1.1
I presume that the V ED and 5000 USB2 will renegotiate downward to
USB1. I suspect, however, that this will result in unacceptably slow
transfer speeds between the scanner and computer compared to SCSI
(rated at 5 MB/s). True?
What happened to the 4000 and 8000 scanners? Already obsolete? Are
there other Nikon scanners that support IEEE 1394 that I might buy
used?
Thanks,
David
