What computer do you have now? You can buy a scsi adapter for your new PC. There are even converter USB -> SCSI. You might try one.

I had a bit of an epiphany yesterday. I went shooting to a Polish festival in Golden Gate Park. There was music and dancing indoors, and I started shooting with the istD. Even with the FA35, focusing was not completely trivial, given the light. So I pulled the Leica off the bag, and shot a couple of (expired) rolls of Tri-X with it. Wow. I had forgotten how much I love that camera. It becomes an invisible tool, blends with your eyes and hands and just gets out of the way of taking photographs. So I think I might be shooting a bit more film in the future, at least until there's a nice digital rangefinder for about the price of a DSLR. I still have my Polaroid SprintScan 4000, and I'm happy with its results. It is SCSI though, which means I have to use it from my old PC--this is the only reason that PC hasn't been discarded yet. So the question for those of you still in the stone age is: what is a good USB film scanner? Are resolutions still around 4000dpi for the high end ones? What should I get? I'm not getting rid of the istD anytime yet, and will probably get a K100D or whatever is called when it comes out. But shooting with a Leica RF is so great that I don't want to give that up...
