Just wondering if anyone here was using a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 with Nikon Scan V 4.0.2 on a MacPro running OS 10.4.11 ( Tiger) without.. or with problems?

What are your experiences? :confused:

Nikon USA reports,

"Nikon Scan
Version 4.0.2
Based on testing of version 4.0.2, installation takes longer than normal. However, we have confirmed that installation is completed after a short wait and basic operations are possible.* However, when sleep settings are applied in Mac OS X System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep panel (any setting other than Never) and the computer enters sleep mode, the scanner's connection is terminated. Therefore, Never should be selected in the Energy Saver's Sleep panel. We are currently looking into resolution of these problems."

Nikon's Knowledgebase is pretty good. I use a Nikon SuperCoolScan 4000 with version 4.0.2 on Tiger 10.4.11 without any problems (except the Sleep issue mentioned above).

HTH.
