Vista Tutorial - Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 x64 out...for Europeans only :P

If you live in Europe, you can get the x64 ScanSnap software if you provide the info from this Fujitsu page:

Fujitsu | ScanSnap S510 | FAQs

(The IP is registered to Fujitsu Europe, and I verified that with Fujitsu themselves).

Unfortunately, Fujitsu Computer Products of America said that those drivers were "European only" due to "different hardware", that I could be put on a mailing list and x64 drivers should be out "by the end of this [2008] year".

If anyone from Europe (or outside) wants to try to get these drivers and test them, I'd be curious to see if they work with non-European hardware and how well they work overall.

I called (vs. online chat) Fujitsu Computing Products of America (FCPA) and while the repknew of no x64 release, the rep nicely offered to look into it. I gave the rep the tech b. # and I was told to expect an email reply within a few days. Very polite.

Have any Europeans attempted to get the drivers from Fujitsu Europe Limited? (FEL)

Finally resolved. I got a nice tech on the online chat who told me to try ScanSnap 4.2, which is the x64 compatible version that comes with the S300. He gave me an ftp login and a link to download (a 700MB file!) from. Works like a charm

hey, if you get this can you send me the link to that file or login or whatever ( ScanSnap 4.2)
or maybe email it to me or something.. I need it..

Thanks!
