I got a nikon LS-4000 slide scanner with a firewire output. I have a
firewire port on my dg45id motherboard with an e8400 processor and 8g of
ram. I am running windows 7 ultimate. the only software is for the vista.
I am running virtual XP, virtual 2000, virtual 98se. I do have windows ME
but I try and stay away from that operating system. I can plug and unplug
my firewire connection and I get a beep out of the computer but nothing in
device manager shows up. I checked the bios in windows 7 and the firewire
is enabled. do not know where to turn to next other than nikon is working on
drives for windows 7. charlie

I do not think you can access firewire on any virtual machine.
Have you tried

There are no virtualization solutions that support Firewire that I am aware
of. As for not having Win7 drivers, you could try installing Vista drivers
IF there are 64-bit ones. Otherwise, you will need to use a different computer
for your scanner until Nikon gets its act together.

finally found a post where the user was able to get the scanner working on
vista and there were comments that some users were able to get windows 7
working also. did the instructions and now I have the scanner working on
the laptop with vista SP2.
I certainly am getting experience in the virtual pc's. charlie
