Dear Jason,
Thank you for posting your request on SMTNET. Please note that ScanCAD International provides an upgrade path for all installed customers, regardless of the age of their system. Currently, hundreds of systems are installed in 37 countries, many of these are running under DOS and Windows 95 and with the original 400 dpi Black & White flat bed scanners. ScanCAD's system upgrade path brings these old systems to a new scanner platform with high resolution (400 to 4000 dpi) and color capability. The new platform is also supported by current PCs and operating systems while the old platform requires the old ISA PC slot, no longer available on current PCs. This upgrade path permits installed customers to maintain full compatibility with old scanned data, so years of work have been preserved. In addition to color and high resolution scanning, the new platform also has focus capability permitting the imaging of loaded boards for first article inspection and measurement. The color scanning also permits individual components to be imaged and vision data files created. The new scanner platform upgrade package for installed ScanPLACE customers provides significant benefits to all installed customers while maintaining compatability with all existing data files. In some cases, this could be 1000s of jobs dating back to the early 90's.
Jason, I hope this is of help. We are dedicated to your 100% satisfaction and support. See us at APEX next week, Booth #1602 or visit our website at http://www.scancad.com.
