<i>&gt; probably to just the minimum defined by section 14 of the scsi</i><br>
<i>&gt; 2 standard. That gives less potential for conflict between</i><br>
<i>&gt; elements in the wdb, and a better chance of a good scan. If</i><br>
<i>&gt; that works, you can fill the wdb back in once you hear from Nikon</i><br>
<i>&gt; what their vendor-specific extensions to the wdb look like.</i><br>
<p>
Ohhh.. The coolscan wdb looks pretty normal. <br>
<p>
Didier do you have the SCSI spec? So does "section 14" mean anything<br>
to you?<br>
<p>
Anyway, the Windows driver issues a "change units" command, and then<br>
programs the window in pixels. The scan range is about an inch, so it<br>
sets the units to 1/2800th of an inch or something close to that.<br>
<p>
You can also try to simply specify a window of 0, 0 to 0.5, 0.5<br>
(600,600 in the default resolution of 1/1200th of an inch).<br>
<p>
Michael, your scanner just gives "black" when you give it a bad window?<br>
The Tamarack simply locks up :-( ...<br>
