[filmscanners] Re: LS 2000 running slow

Gregg,

I'm using a 2000 on a B&W 350 with a SCSI card and my times are under
2 minutes. Yes, the bottleneck is USB. It is much slower than SCSI.
You can pick up an Adaptec 2930U PCI SCSI card for around $60 and
others for under $100. Check the specs to make sure they have or will
have OS X drivers available.
