You get what you pay for! [Posted on 2001-12-22]
My first disappointment with this scanner was that I could never get it installed on my Win 2000 Pro PC. I was able to get it to work with Win 98 SE without a hitch. It worked great for a few weeks before I began noticing streaks in scans run at more than 1200 dpi. I contacted Tamarack and they acted like they had never seen this problem before. They sent me a replacement scanner that, once again, began streaking after a week or so. I think I was able to figure out what is going on: dust on the optical sensor. When I blast the sensor with canned air, the streaking is reduced, but not completely eliminated. Unless you live in a clean room, you will probably have dust streaking with this machine. I'd recommend this scanner for folks looking to do scans of less than 600 dpi where dust isn't as much of a problem.

Great scanner but no drivers available for Windows XP operating system.
2400 FS also runs off the parallel port under Windows 98 [Posted on 2003-07-12]
I got the 2400 FS to run off the parallel port under Windows 98 using a male/female 25D to 25D cable. The driver is part of Windows. Only later did I get the scanner to work with Windows 2000 using the USB driver. At first under Windows 2000 the Documan program kept hanging up at the opening screen. After about an hour of fiddling around it started working. This is good value for money, but you may need to fiddle with it a bit to get the drivers to work with your computer setup. I am rating it as a 3 because the manual is [poor] and the manufacturer has gone out of business. Otherwise it would be a 5.
Searching for HELP [Posted on 2004-04-13]
I bought the 2400 FS Film Scaner( Tamarack) two months ago, since very begining it hasn't work properly. I use DocuMan 2.07 and I'm searching for a version 3.0. I have scenned 300 slides with quite good result but negatives are unacceptable! Maybe version 3.0 will help? Where can I find it? I would be pleased with any help. Is the problem of dark edges tipical ?
Average Scanner - Documan 3.01 a must [Posted on 2005-09-23]
The scanner does an average job. Great for achiving slides. For windows XP you need Documan 3.01
