I just ordered one from buy.com and should be able to tell you in a few
days.  I bought it because it also scans panoramics.

Buy the way has anybody ever tried using a prepress scanner?  These are
flatbed scanners (usually 1200dpi) with special adapters for
transparencies.  Supposedly you can put a bunch of 35mm slides down at
the same time and it will scan them all separately.
