Morning folks,

I just spent a few hours trying to get everything working (again). I sort of blew it rebuilding the desktop to be looking at the monitor with an rgb grid - with nothing discernible..
Anyway after...
Spent all day messing with the blue box.
The drive in a bay 1 believe is scsi and I have no way to connect it. I was assuming it was the boot drive. Left it disconnected.
The drive in bay 2 is...
Here is the connection I think will solve the issue.
The larger is on the scsi card, the other is on data ribbon.
Am I on right path?
Bob
Add in 3/9 - I wonder if a different data ribbon...
I spent time on the issue this morning and here is what I "think" I know at this point.
The second drive just sat in computer. Why the owner didn't put it in bay 2 I can only guess. He had it...
Yes it is a translucent blue Mac. I don't have a boot disk unfortunately.
The history is; a friend bought it and never had the time to put it into service.. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse,...
Thanks for the reply Sandy.
There is only one circular port/plug for the mouse, no plug in for a keyboard. It does have 2 usb ports.
the IBM drive has a ribbon connecting the motherboard to the...
Just brought a drum scanner home. Looks to be in very nice shape. Trying to get it running, well not the scanner, but the old G3 Mac that came with it.
I got it to sort of boot, but got the...
The problem is not with the software. It's with SCSI. I have the same issue and finding a card for the late model Mac's and OS requires a very expensive card. I may have to bite the bullet and get an...
I think that number is OK. Hard to find units in superb shape. So if you have one you'll do fine. It's a great machine.
As Peter says condition is paramount. What does the platten look like,...
Sorry I forgot I did ask you. maybe still in trash can, recycle bin for PC types.
Anyway, I too agree its unlikely software, but I've had reinstalls fix the craziest problems. We don't want to do...
Bryan something has changed. I went through scans I made with the Cezanne and found no evidence of what your finding. There were scans on the cpu I sent, I'd suggest you take a look to confirm. I...
Bryan, try something for me. With the power off, move the bed manually into the left guard and back to original position. Do this slowly. It should move smoothly with some resistance. Should go...
I agree with the point of view that perfect is a personal decision.
Let me illustrate, I've owned the following cameras in LF...

This class of scanner is amazing. If I didn't have the Polaroid I'd really be in mourning.
I'm very pleased the glitches went away, maybe it just needed some exercise. I had a few issues that...
Bryan,
The plates do not provide required stability, just flattening. I never used more than one unless I had the bed filled with sheet film in a batch process.
During the scan, the movement is...
Spoke with Glenn, he and I will be there.

Bryan, consider

or

as a source of ideas and supplies. Wet scanning can get detail out that no other method can. I use...
Bryan, wavy lines can be network issues, usually not mechanical issues. As you can imagine sampling millions of points on the film need to be assembled correctly. timing is a stringent need for...
Peter brings up a good point. Do not pixel peep at 100 percent to see apparent sharpness. 25% is more appropriate to the final print.

l always scanned at a divisor of the chip to minimize math errors in interpretation. so i'd scan at 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 dpi. the sensor is a 8000 pixel ccd 3 line chip. Now the downside of...
You're very welcome. Hope your as pleased with the Cezanne as I was. I'm going to miss it.
Pleased it all worked out. You may have one of the best examples in the country.
Bob
Basically. The stepper motor makes a step, in a momentary pause, the sensor does a read and sends to CPI. Motor makes another step, sensor makes another read, and on and on.
In a color scan each...
I think I'd check all connections and clean with contact cleaner. Caution dont use plastic q-tips, wooden only. I'd also check computer and maybe reseat boards, certainly check that one didnt vibrate...
I've never seen that, but the folded colors in the blurry part does remind me of another poster a while back who was having a data transmission issue, if its a stepper issue it would be a specific...
Bryan,
Always have long dimension of the film run in the same direction as scan bed.
If your scan line flaw runs across then it could be the stepper motor, but I've never seen a Cezanne have a...
I don't have the Chamonix 8x10, only the 4x5. It is mainly a carbon fibre camera with wood components. It is very strong. I believe the 8x10 is also made this way.
Possibly this is the reason for...
I have one not being used, green but not mag. In nice shape. PM me and we can discuss a fair price (cheap).
Bob
Got it on the calender, I'll be there.

Hi Paul,
New/modern = $$
Maybe something like a 19 inch (just under 500mm) Artar. Likely half the $$'s of a modern.
Glass is fantastic, old shutters work fine given a proper CLA.
That was...
Boot camp works great, if your need don't require multiple programs sharing process or data. There are some workarounds on data that are simple to implement.
I boot over to PC for games primarily...
Tablet films = Pyrocat
Standard films = D23
Long scale = D23 two bath
D23 loses a little film speed to D76, but I sure like the highlights better.

Your OK, Sinar has finished machined the gg position and no shims are required. Only way to screw up is to put the frosted side out. It should go on side towards lens.

This hit the morning hot news at the investment firms.

Put a small baggy with 8-10 ice cubes in the tank. works great and no cost to boot.
I too live in the land of heat using a CPE. The lack of tank insulation is pretty meaningless unless your doing...

About prewash, I do 2 for about 30-40 seconds each with more water than minimum. I'm trying to not only get the drum and film to process temp, but also remove as much of the AH dye that I can.

I'm interested on participating on the 8x10 order, how much is somewhat price dependent. gotta be better price than importing it from Japan.
I might have an interest in 4x5 QL, though I have...
