The DataProducts line of SCSI flatbed scanners (i.e. item scanned doesn't
move.....like on a copier) seem to be this best bang for the buck at 300dpi
and $2500 with software and interface cable. They are very fast and save
files in a number of different formats (including Encapsulated Postscript).

You might also check out TRU-VAL supposedly has a Mac-able SCSI scanner which
will do smaller scans at >900 dpi (expect to load your Mac with as much memory
as it will hold.....like maybe a 4M Levco) .
