I don't know what the specs are, but I've done some web-research of flatbed 
scanners lately (got a Microtek ScanMaker IIhr at a *really* good price
at www.onsale.com, shipped directly from Microtek). The flatbed scanners
of Artec had reviews that, uh , didn't praise the quality of results.  Actually,
toward last place.  Of course that was for other models, and the Scan-ROM
might be a lot better. 

This weekend I plan to try and see how well curved Keystone view cards scan.
Would squishing them flat for a while cause any damage to the (now) old paper
surface image?

P.S. - Anybody have a transparency adapter for the IIhr they want to get rid
       of (I've the info from Microtek on how to tell if a TMA-II unit is
       IIhr compatible, in case any of you also got one and is looking for
       the compatible TMA. Let me know and I'll forward the info)?
