Hi

I just bought a Flextight Precision II. I didn't get any cables or filmholders with it.

I you want to sell anything like this, or know where I can get it, please let me know.

Thank you!

It seems you got yourself into serious trouble buying an incomplete precision scanner.
How about scanner software?

I will try to find some links to scanner specialists that may be able to help you.
You could end up buying another complete but defective scanner to get yours going.

Hi Paul

I've got all the software and drivers. I'm missing the power cable, and I need a 6X6 film holder. I've heard that you can communicate with scanner through a Ratoc SCSI firewire adapter. Further more I've got a H3D, so I have access to Hasselblad.com to download an older version of Flexcolor.

Do you think I'll be able to find what I need to get it going?

I'd really appreciate if you have any contacts that would sell some of it to me.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely
Christian

On the subject of the power cable, is there anything special to that? If I had any idea what they look like I could go dig into my stockroom, as I have acquired a reasonable variety of power cables.

The plug you need is a standard DIN one often used in home audio systems.
You also need a power supply giving + and - 15 volts and + 5,2 volt.

The SCSI connector is computer hardware.

Is there any website (etc) that specialises on such products? It's not very likely that I will find the right power adapter.

Thank you for the input!

Hm, you need more that just a power cable, you need the complete AC-DC power supply. This is not something I have sitting on my shelf. The power requirements listed are nothing out of the ordinary so if push comes to shove a competent electronics guy/gal can construct something for you.

As for the Firewire<->SCSI converter.. that is rare stuff. Can't you use a PCI-SCSI or PCIe-SCSI host bus adapter in your system? These are much easier to find.

I'm afraid you will have a bit of searching in front of you.

I've solved the SCSI-firewire adapter issue. There's a brand called Ratoc who has a product that will word with the scanner (several other presicion users has it).


As for the power cable I don't know.

If you have any idea , let me know!

Thanks!
