  I'm using the D'Image Scan Speed right now. It's been replaced by the
  Scan Elite, but you may be able to find the Speed for $700. It was in
  the low $900s the last time I saw it being offered retail, but that was
  a year ago. It works just fine in Linux with VueScan.

  Don't forget to pay attention to things other than DPI, particularly the
  D-range. A D3.6 scanner will do a whole lot better, particularly with
  slides, than a 3.0 scanner.
