Digital BW, The Print

Well, if you're willing to move outside the box a little bit, you can  
set up your digital camera on a vertical
plane, and lay each roll of film on a light box under it. Shoot the  
entire roll in one exposure (RAW) and
convert it to positive in Camera Raw. I did over 1000 rolls in just a  
couple weeks, and put them into a
searchable data base in iView. The big advantage, aside from time  
saved by not scanning, is the ease of adding keywords into
the metadata, which makes your subjects, dates, whatever, easily  
searchable.
