Need advise on purchasing a scanner for 4 x 5 library?

Doug,

Runs OSX and runs on the G5 platform and, their tech support tell me there will be no problem when I switch to an Intel machine. That, of ocurse, is one of the biggest problems with the older Creo machines. While they are fine machines in their own right they need to run on legcacy hardware and software. The Eversmart. AFAIK will only run on OS 9.x and will not run on new hardware than a G3 and the Pro II will run on a G4 but again only with OS 9.x

Facing a similar situation, but with 5x7 transparencies. I also chose the outsourcing route as the most cost-effective when my time was factored into the equation. I get higher-quality scans than mentioned by Doug for a lower price, however the lab is located in India.
