I have managed to order one of these scanners Cy. Digitalfirst have them for £499 sterling, whereas the Canoscan FS4000 is almost always 600sterling.

I am not too concerned with using the full resolution of 5400ppi, but I reckoned it was going to be faster than the Canoscan using USB1.1. I have grown tired of SCSI, especially as the Adaptec 2906 card that I installed in my Mac G4 seems to cause various problems. The Minolta connects with either USB2 or Firewire and should blend in nicely with my system.

Now, if only I could take some decent, marketable photos....

Minolta have just released a 5400dpi 35mm film scanner at a price very
similar to the Canon FS4000 (about 600 UK pounds in the UK).  5400dpi
equates to 213dots/mm.  That is still lower than the value that you
calculate above, but it is at least within the same ballpark!
