Hey all, longtime listener, first time caller.
I inherited a collection of about 30,000 35mm slides documenting some very important local history.
Over the past 5 or so years I’ve gotten scans of most, if not all of them using my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 with Nikon SF-210 attachment and VueScan.
Recently I came into possession of another 200 or so slides that fill holes in the original collection of 30,000 slides. I just upgraded to Windows 11, and when I pull up VueScan it no longer detects my scanner. Windows doesn’t see it either.
I’ve downloaded the most recent drivers for my FireWire card and device manager says the PCIe card is working properly.
Nikon Support told me they no longer support that scanner and therefore no longer have the software available for download.
Does anyone here have any advice? I’ve also reached out to Ed Hamerick with VueScan. But I was hoping to hit this from multiple angles to see what works.
Thank you all, I love this community. I’m hopeful someone else can help!
