It might be tricky, as you say Dan to rig it up yourself. I have a
Perfection Photo 1250 with just such a transparency adaptor and its
operation is automatic and controlled through the software. It is
also powered from the scanner itself. I use it every so often for my
645s.
By the way, it works much better than the folded piece of white paper
that I tried with my Umax scanner a few months ago, in an attempt to
make a transparency scanner out of a straight flatbed ;-).

Ah, right. Hm. Not sure that I can fake one of those up, I reckon you
probably need to turn the light that the scanner would normally use off, or
it'll all get confused. Perhaps it works if I can just give out enough light
to overpower the bottom light. I guess I'll play around and see what I get;
there's no obvious way to hook one of these up to our scanner, at any rate,
and now that I check, Agfa's even discontinued support for its
consumer-level scanners so I think I'm pretty stuck.
