Minimum Macintosh System Requirements
As an absolute minimum, your Macintosh computer system must be configured
with the following components:
• Macintosh family of computers with SCSI interface
• Macintosh System 6.0.5 or later
• 32-bit Quickdraw (when using models preceding Macintosh Ilci)
• 8 Megabytes of RAM (more recommended)
• 80 Megabyte Hard Disk (300 MB or more recommended)
• 8-bit display (24-bit true-color display
strongly
recommended)
Suggested System Configurations
Following these suggestions will yield the best scanning results:
• Set your disk cache (found in the “Memory” Control Panel in System 7, and in the
Control Panel in System 6) to the minimum setting, as scan times increase if the
RAM cache is set above the minimum. Most imaging applications, including Nikon
Control, have their own method for dealing with images larger then available RAM.
• Virtual Memory, also in the “Memory” Control Panel in System 7, should be
switched off.
• File Sharing should be switched off Any extended background operation, such as
copying large files from your system to another over a network, may cause Coolscan
to ‘time out’ during operation.
• Allocate at least 80% of your available memory to the application that is hosting
the Nikon Scanner plug-in (see your Macintosh User’s Guide if you are are not
familiar with this procedure). Nikon Control requires a minimum of 4 megabytes
of RAM to operate. Adding memory to your system is one of the best investments
you can make to increase overall performance.
• Coolscan will only operate from the SCSI controller that is part of the main logic
board, also referred to as the ‘motherboard.’ Do not connect Coolscan to any third-
party SCSI controller in an attempt to increase your scanning speed. Nikon’s
Marketing & Development Group is working with a number of third-party vendors
to gain compatibility with such controllers. The limiting factot is the rate of data
