The comm interface on the scanner is IEEE 1394, FireWire, and none of modern laptops support that. Last week I decided it was time to resume scanning negatives from the family archives. I have owned a Nikon CoolScan LS8000-ED for several years and it has been in a closet. Let me know if you have problems following this, and if it does/doesn't work for you. In this case, just follow step 4 again to change it back to the Legacy driver. Note that I've read that occasionally after installing Windows updates, the firewire device driver can reset back to the original one after a reboot. You should be prompted to do this, click Yes.Īfter rebooting, my Saffire Pro 40 worked fine.
Close the window after the driver is updated. (Note you can change back to the old driver at any time by selecting your old driver here) Make sure the Show compatible hardware box is ticked and select 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy) and click Next. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers. Select Browse my computer for driver software. Right click your Firewire interface (eg mine is: VIA 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller) and select Update Driver Software. Open the Device Manager (Click Start Menu, type Device, select Device Manager, OR: right-click the PC icon, select Manage, select Device Manager from left menu). Right-click the file Legacy1394.inf and select InstallĤ) Change your firewire interface to use the Legacy driver. (Use x86_driver folder if you are running 32-bit Windows) Goto to the (just created) folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy)\圆4_driver. It takes almost no time, I wasn't sure it had done anything at all. msi file should then download automatically.Ģ) Run the downloaded file: 1394_OHCI_LegacyDriver.msiĭouble click it to run, OR: right-click and select Install. Select your langauge (default English for me) and click Download. Click on Download the package now link appropriate for whether you have a 64-bit version of windows (圆4) or not (x86). My solution was to download and install the legacy firewire driver from Microsoft.Īll the instructions for installing are on the first link below, but I've written out in case they aren't obvious.ġ) Download the legacy Firewire driver from Microsoft here: The Saffire Mix Control app did not recognize the Pro40. FYI I have a Saffire Pro 40 with a built-in VIA firewire chipset and just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7.
