I have the 620ST (scsi version) and am quite happy with it. While not as 
good as slides done on a Nikon LS-20, it is far better than other flatbeds I've 
used - much faster and better quality than the MicroTek X6EL which is in the 
same price range.

Drivers work fine under NT and Win2000 for me...
