filmscanners: Batch scanning problems with SS4000

[Stan Schwartz <snsok@swbell.net>]

I use an SS4000 on a Dell 933 computer running Win98SE with 512MB RAM. I
have a flatbed scanner and a JAZ drive also on the SCSI chain, but I keep
the flatbed scanner off while using the SprintScan. The SCSI card is a SIIG.

I can rarely finish a batch scan at full resolution without my system either
freezing, rebooting itself or getting a message that there has been a
problem with the SCSI bus. The most common of these three is a freeze. This
behavior occurs most frequently with Polaroid's Insight software but also
may occur with VueScan.

I can scan single slides OK unless I try to use the computer during scanning
in some other application. I have to just leave it alone during scanning.

Anyone else have problems like this? Any solutions?
