	I just recently bought a Nikon Coolscan 2000. Its got a 50 SCSI port
	(Honda interface). I asked around in the newsgroups re using it with
	Solaris but I never got a reply. Dunno about the specs but there is
	a program called VueScan that can handle most scanners (check in
	rec.photo.digital), so it can be done. Now all I need to do is find
	a copy of Gerard Holzmann's book "Beyond Photograpy: The Digital Darkroom".
