Aside from the pain of scanning each one individually, how is the
speed on each scan? I would hope this would be a SCSI device, but
something tells me with the trend towards parallel stuff it might not
be.
I have an HP Photosmart scanner for 35mm negatives and slides (also
does 5x7 prints but I have a flatbed for that. Wish I could use it
now, but I lost the CD somewhere in the Lego room a couple of months
ago and it was one of the only ones I hadn't backed up. The
replacement CD HP sent me is corrupt. :( I'll find the original
someday, I hope.
