Just spotted notice of this sale in the morning mail.
<http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=F18000&cm_mmc=geekmail-_-newarrivals_html-_-15_jul_2005-_-naproduct>
I have no idea how well this thing performs but I see that it doesn't
cost very much and seems to have the unusual ability to take uncut 35mm
film as well as slides.
The scan resolution only yields a 4MP image but if all you've got is a
low end flat bed scanner this might be a better solution at not much
expense.
Based on the USB 1.1 speed this is pretty likely new old stock which is
what Computer Geeks usually deals in. However, I see that it's still
listed as a product by the manufacturer.

USB 1.1 is pretty slow but probably plenty fast enough to keep up with
the data rate coming off the scanner.
No connection here other than being a happy customer of Computer Geeks
for a goodly number of years. I've only bought two things from them
that I wasn't happy with and they replaced or accepted return with no
questions asked.
I see that the product is supported by VueScan after installing another
software product from Pacific Image Electronics who makes the scanner.
