I have hundreds of old B&W negs approx 3 X 4 in. and larger that I would love to scan and return to "positive" images. Most scanners with this feature seem to only accept slides, 35 mm or 110 size film sizes. Any leads would be greatly appreceated.</p> <p>Kevin Eisler</p> Does anyone know where I can get a scanner that is capable of scanning photo negatives larger than 35 mm?

It's like plugging a floppy disk into your computer.</p> <p>The only tricky part is that your computer must recognise the fact that something has been plugged into it. With XP Pro, no problem. XP detects it automatically. In the case of your first computer, well, you can always plug it in and see, but you may have to go download the drivers for the LG Mirror 4 GB and install them on the first computer. The drivers are what permits you to use printers, scanners, even some mouses and other things hooked onto a computer. You can usually search on the Internet for the driver and it should be available for download.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> Hi J Lewis,
