filmscanners: Laptop SCSI, was Sprintscan 4000 Rebate extension

[bob geoghegan <bobgeo@dgiinc.com>]

A laptop PCCard or a desktop PCI SCSI card?  In my case I'd need a laptop 
PCcard (formerly PCMCIA), which I always assume is my responsibility.

Does anyone have experience with filmscanners connected via a PCCard SCSI 
adapter on a Win2000 laptop?  Confirmed hot-swap-ability would be a big 
help so that I don't have to power everything down to plug in the 
scanner.  My former NT4 laptop with SCSI was annoying for that 
reason.  Perhaps Adaptec's 1460 goes for ~$115, or the 1480 for ~$165:
