From personal experience with the Agfa Snapscan sitting next to me I'd
say DON'T buy that model. It produces terrible results (blue and
blurry).

I have a Umax Vista S6E hooked up to a 7200 via scsi and it produces
much better results. I have seen those little Canon scanners that are
about the size of an A4 page running on windows machines and the results
are very acceptable.
