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

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

I'll repost this if it gets lost in the hosting change over.

With a booted and running x64 (i.e. everything operating), I turned on
the 5400 II. Windows saw the new hardware and asked for the INF. I had
previously saved Ed's inf on my hard drive, so I put in that location
and the scanner was recognized.

I'm going to do some more scanning before pronouncing Vuescan to be a
replacement for the 5400 II, but so far I like the scans I have done.

If someone is blowing these scanners out for cheap, I might pick up a
second one. The 5400 II was under $500 new, and totally blows away my
old Artixscan 4000t and more than double the price.
