I have written to Minolta several times, and they refuse to release the<br>
programming<br>
info or write a driver themselves.<br>
I would NOT recommend anyone to buy Minolta products anymore their support<br>
is severely lacking...<br>
<p>
No idea about Nikon...<br>

Subject: Nikon or Minolta slide scanner?<br>
<p>
<p>
<i>|I'd like to get either the Nikon CoolScan III, or a Minolta Dimage Scan</i><br>
Dual<br>
<i>|slide/film scanner. Neither appears to be supported by sane at present.</i><br>
<i>|</i><br>
<i>|1. Is anyone working on drivers for either scanner?</i><br>
<i>|</i><br>
<i>|2. If not, I'd consider taking on writing them, but would I be more likely</i><br>
to<br>
<i>|get the necessary device information from Nikon or Minolta? Advice as to</i><br>
the<br>
<i>|best way to go about getting the requisite information would also be</i><br>
welcome.<br>
<i>|</i><br>
<i>|Thanks</i><br>
