Nikon film scanner: SOLD

Sold it for the same price I paid for it, $500. Had a little trouble since it doesn't work out of the box on Windows 7, but I found some instructions and got it to work on my new laptop, since the buyer wanted to use it on Windows 7 64-bit. The scanner.inf file needed one more tweak: the LS-50 (CoolScan V) line needed to be copied from the [Models] section to the [Models.ntamd64] section, which covers 64-bit operating systems, and then it installed. Argh, Windows… it gave me such trouble recognizing the device and trying to do things as administrator. The buyer wanted to use it to let his mother scan some negatives. I hope he's happy with it. I never really got around to using it, and I think given the time I calculated it would take to scan my thousands of negatives, it might be better (cost a little more, save a lot of time) using a negative scanning service like ScanCafe.
