Sorry, It's a Canon ms500, old 50 pin scsi. Don't have much info on it. I tried to contact canon they won't reply. The drivers for windows seem to be incomplete there are no inf files in the archive so I wrote asking if they could verify if its a corrupt archive. It lists compatibility for 95,98,nt but lists no drivers for them its all in a jumbled up mess of a file. So I tried it under linux, its seen as sg2, and dmesg says its spuriously trying to access hardware. The device panel in pclinuxos list's the machine name , interface and arch. I tried v4lin to see if I could capture it as a stream it won't, tried sane as a scanner it dosen't understand it. tried gimp for imaging, I'm not sure how microfilm is input as to its capture, seems like it should be a stream its just a pushed projection right ?
