[schoefty]

I just bought Silverfast Ai for my agfa duoscan f40 ...
Now it works only for transmisssive scans ...

I still got Frimware revision 1.50 ...
I Cannot find the "agfa firmware downloader" on their support site ...
Maybe someone can tell me where i can find Firmware version 1.60 and the downloader ...

TIA

Dear schoefty

I asked Agfa support about your firmware upgrade question.
They either may post directly in this forum or answer may email and I will inform via this thread.

Kind regards, Sonny Noack

Dear schoefty,

here is the answer I got from Agfa Support in the German original:

Sehr geehrter Herr Noack,

vielen Dank f?r Ihre Anfrage, die wir ?ber www.agfanet.com erhalten haben.

Etwa seit Jahresmitte 2001 hat Agfa den Vertrieb von Scannern und Digitalkameras
f?r den SOHO-Bereich auslaufen lassen, daher bearbeiten wir Fragen zu
Agfa SnapScan Scannern,
Digitalkameras und Midrange Scannern leider nicht mehr unter dieser
Adresse per eMail.

Bitte besuchen Sie stattdessen unsere Website und klicken auf die
passende URL,
dort finden Sie die entsprechenden Hilfen und Telefon-Nummern.

Support f?r Scanner:

Support f?r Digitalkameras:

Mit freundlichen Gr??en,

Translated to English this boils down to:
Agfa ceased to sell digital cameras and scanners for the SOHO [i.e. small office and home] market in 2001. Therefore support requests for SnapScan and mid-range scanners, as well as digital cameras won't be answered via email any longer. Please contact one of our helplines [see the above URLs].

Well, I did.
You would have to send your scanner to Agfa for them to exchange your firmware. Probably not exactly what you had in mind...
