I have the C5100A that uses the SCSI card. But ever since I had to reformat
the computer a few months ago, I've never been able to get it to talk to the
SCSI card again. But when it did work, it did quite a satisfactory job of
scanning slides. I don't think its a problem with my scanner, it just won't
talk to the SCSI card.
I wish now it were the newer S20 version that uses the USB connection.
I paid less than $100 for mine used from the auction site. I have no idea
what they normally go for.

> Best I recall, they were $400 new four years ago. Lately, I seem to
recall seeing them going for $200, or thereabouts. Used, I really haven't a
clue. I actually was not aware they even came in a SCSI version; mine's
USB. I don't think I'd go much over $100US. Still, for scanning slides and
negatives, it's better than almost any two-year-old flat bed. Sometimes you
get what you pay for, sometimes you don't, but you nearly never get more.
