Random observations: You need more memory and a faster CPU. With ATA100 IDE drives, I wouldn't bother with SCSI HDs. I would get a SCSI interface card for the scanner. Grain and sharpening: Go into channels and only do sharpening on the green channel, where most of the detail info is. You might do a little blur on the Blue channel to get the grain out of open sky. I also set the Threshold (in USM) to 8, or more with grainy film; this helps to sharpen edges and not noise. It'm much more important to have the scanner on a solid base than the printer. Try throwing a bean bag on top of the scanner and see if it makes a difference.
