Another scanner you might want to look at is the Mitsubishi scanner
SC_7500.  We bought one a few months ago and are very pleased with 
the image quality.  It will scan in 24-bit true color at 400, 300, 200, 
150, or 25 dpi.  The scanner area is larger than most -- you can scan 11x17
images.  Most of the scanners on the market are for Macintoshes or PCs.
The Mitsubishi scanner is also Sun compatable.  The model we bought
had a GPIB interface so we had to buy a GPIB/VME card to fit into
the Sun.  Mitsubishi is coming out with a SCSI interface soon which
will make interfacing to the Suns even easier.  I'm not sure of the price, 
but last year they were quoting retail of around $10,000 for the scanner.
