The files created are, I believe, .fff files; something I had never seen before. After a lot of research, I found that the .tif files created were considered to be the same as the .fff files and the .tifs are the raw file output. Not sure I'm making sense here, but at the time I owned it Adobe Raw did not recognize the .fff files so I used the Imacon software to output to .tif files that PS could work with. Imacon/Hasselblad confirmed with me directly that the .tif file had the same exact info as the .fff file. Good luck! Bob (who may have an old SCSI card if you need one...)
