Scanner recommendation

[Rem P Roberti]

Now that I understand how to get a scanner working, if there are any 
photographers out there who are using scanners with FreeBSD for 
negatives or slides I would love to hear a recommendation.  I have an 
Epson V500, but it is unsupported, and the only scanner that I have that 
is supported is an old HP Scanjet 3970, which is a poor scanner for 
doing negatives or slides.

Cheers...
