I am an old PC guy, got my first IBM 1987, and now I got an old drumscanner with bundled software only for Mac. I managed to install the proper OS, MacOS 8.6 and color quartet and after some trials and errors and important help from this forum I am able to operate the scanner. I hooked the Mac to my network, managed by a router, and brought it to a running internet connection. But I am not able to see the windows boxes from the Mac or vice versa.
Btw, how do you fix your film on the drum? Do you use another clear sheet wetmounted over the film or do you tape the film? How do you avoid this airbubbles? I have tried to tape one long side and roll it out with a rubber roller, the disadvantage for me is that the outrolled fluid isnt that good for the tape. Do clean the drum before taping? What sheets are best used for over the film?
How do you clean your film and drum? My fluid is from an Italian company an is claimed as oilfree, does this mean I can clean it with water, just adding some softmaker to avoid borders from drieing?
Sorry for that lot of questions, but 100 miles here around nobody has ever seen a drumscanner, so forgive me.^^
Thanks and kind regards
Martin
