Digital BW, The Print

Was in local dealer (Microcenter cambridge, MA) the other day and 
noticed a stack of Epson 2400 (not 2450) scanners, retail of $200.

Looks like a budget 2450, with 2400 DPI, and a tranny hood panel "for 
35mm strip" that, in the box illustration, looked wide "enough" for 
120. No open unit I could check at that time.

It's on the Epson site, but "not available". No specs on the trans 
panel size. A separate 4x5 top available for $99. No mention of 
Silverfast software, only Epson Twain (which does output 16 bit with 
the 2450).

MAC/PC, USB2 not firewire.

Anyone seen one up and running, who could check eveness and size of 
tranny coverage. Might be good for my school's installation.

Regards,
Bruce
