AFAIK most film scanners use a single row of CCD elements moved across the film or with the film moved across the elements, rather than a grid CCD like in a digital camera. So your grid pattern diagram shows the areas "seen" by the CCD elements, not a

Rob, also the more images that we can store on a piece of media, the more 'we' are liable to loose should the media fail. I can just get one image from my FujiFilm MX2900 Zoom onto a 1.44MB floppy. It could be argued that I may just loose one image if a disc goes bad instead of say 400 if

If your laptop doesn't have either SCSI internally available, or a card slot, or a cradle which accepts PCI slot cards, there are two methods. I believe a company called Orange Micro (I think) has a USB to SCSI interface, and if not, there are several PCMCIA to SCSI cards made. However, all

I generally agree with you comments. Once the price of copying time is paid, dividends are paid every time the image is accessed thereafter on the more accessible and faster medium. So the copy time is only 'lost' if the image is never viewed more than once or thereabouts. Your point is taken;
