Even if you save and get the "newer" flatbed as suggested, it will
still be a compromise. Be patient and peruse ebay. I did and I got a
Minolta 35 slide scanner. It's designed to do the job and the
resolution is acceptable (2850). I got mine for $50 and I provided the
SCSI adapter and bought a slide tray ($15). There are still some very
good buys on ebay if you're patient.
