No.   Not possible.   Hardware limitations prevent it.   I have 6x12 and 6x14 
negatives that I wanted to scan on a Microtek 120tf, the clone/successor to 
the Sprintscan 120.   I spent a lot of time on the phone with Microtek and 
Polaroid both to get a straight answer.   Basically, they told me there are 
hardware limitations that preclude it and no software/driver solution will allow you 
to scan negatives that long on the machine.   Back to the flatbed!
