Hi, I am planning to purchase a modern, quality, but amateur film scanner for home use: some negatives but mostly slides, framed and unframed. My PC is a Sun/SPARC (SunBlade 100) so I need to rely on sane for software. From the sane documentation I understand there is no chance for me to use any USB scanners, so I am planning to go the SCSI route (which unfortunately will set me back $300 for a Sun SCSI adapter).
Now, the question. Can anyone recommend a film scanner fully supported by sane under Solaris/SPARC, with a good dynamic range for slides? The resolution need not be much above 2000 dpi. The price however, is of concern, anything above $500 is out of question. Please do not suggest paper scanners with transparency adapters.
