USB is limited to 11 Mb. You'd be better with 1394/firewire or ultra
wide SCSI.

You can purchase a Eiger PCMCIA SCSI card
The LS40 isn't 4000dpi though.
Resolution matters!
True, true. But I'm not sure how much it matters. I believe the LS40 is
2900dpi? In which case it's probably going to be plenty for me - I'm
only intending to create/store images which are 2-3Mb, if that.

I have used two film scanners with USB version 1.1 interfaces, with both
a P-100 and Celeron 500 CPU (and between 64 and 600+ megs of memory). I
also previously had a SCSI interfaced film scanner. The image file
sizes ranged from 18 megs (2400 dpi/8 bit) to about 50 megs (2820 dpi/16
bit).
A minor point for future clarity:
Little b means bits. Big B means bytes.
When people write Mb (whether 11 or 12 for USB) they mean mega-bits.
My scanner, attached to my computer using a USB 11Mb/s interface (or is it
12Mb/s? I can never remember which) has such low resolution that a
, but is nowhere near the difference of the
interface capability.
