sorry I am in transit at the moment and will give a more detailed reply
later on in the week.
I believe that the FS2710 was an enourmous leap forwards from the FS2700.
I have since found out that it is mainly Kodachrome 200 that gives a
problem, I am using vuescan which is good, I also stripped and cleaned
the scanner, so now I am getting some reasonable kodachome 64's but they
are nowhere near the quality of some scans I have seen on the web.
I gave up for a few years after buying it, but am now experimenting
again, so see if i can get some reasonable output.
