Digital BW, The Print

I'd need to scan primarily strips of 6 frames each, but scanning before 
I cut the rolls going forward won't be a problem either. Yes, I already 
have a scanner, but the problem here is that curly negs require 
something to keep them flat and the extra piece of glass that this 
entails produces Newton lines which make the scans next to useless. 
Additional expense is ok if it can save 100's hours of work. I don't 
need or want a clear path outward at the time of the scan, I think in 
rolls & want to see everything. Actual selection for printing may change 
over the years. What looked good in 1985 may not be what I want in 2009.

The 750 site mentions an included 35mm neg holder: how many strips does 
it take of how many frames? Is it possible to sandwich the strips into 
the scanner without the holder & gwt an entire roll in at a time?
