[filmscanners] Re: Vuescan and 64bit Windows - Ed's reply

["gary" <lists@lazygranch.com>]

I got a call back from Konica Minolta regarding the 64 bit drivers. I
was referred to:

800-488-7669
sony parts center

As you can guess, this was a waste of time.

I loaded the latest version of Vuescan, and indeed, it is running on
X64. The odd banding I saw the first time I tried Vuescan on with the
5400 II isn't present. I need to do more scans to be totally convinced
the banding problem is gone, but this is very encouraging.

I used Ed's ".inf" file to install the scanner.
