I've been looking at scanners lately (DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400) 
Can I assume there is a set default to the scan time?

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....
