Digital BW, The Print

Commenting in no particular order:

UMAX seems to have 2 models: the powerlook 2100xl and 2100xl with uta. 
Am I correct to assume that the transparency adapter uta-2100xl is 
included in the uta model?

Unfortunately, I have 100's of older Kodak & non-Kodak 6 frame strips 
that are anything but flat when left to themselves. Would there be room 
for the sheet of glass?

Is the transparency adapter a light source or what?

Thanks.
