I have a DuoScan and all the trays. I bought these new in 1998 or 1999. It operates through a SCSI card which I have installed still on a old Compaq computer with XP. (This set up was used with my Canon Fs2710 scanner). I installed the driver and software for the Duoscan on this computer, but it will not opeate due to a "unsupported software" or some such thing.
Before tossing it, I'm think that maybe some parts are salvageable for use with my V500 (or a V700 I plan to get later). I'm thinking glass is AN and could be salvaged. Maybe the film holders are sturdier than what I have now and could be cut down and used with one of the other scanners.
Anyone have any ideas? Per a suggestion here, I sometimes use the V500 without the holders, but have trouble keeping film flat. I'm think a piece of AN glass may hold it flat.
