I sure hope so for that much.  Let's see...my Nikon 35mm scans are 4000 
ppi and 110mb.  4000 ppi = a 13" print @ 300 ppi.   What would 900mb 
be?  I will say that the Heidelberg scans from my 4x5 and 8x10 negs are 
excellent, but this was not on the Tango.  It was on a huge flatbed the 
name of which escapes me now.  And I had to convince the operator that 
it was "16-bit" and "no unsharp mask".  After we established rapport all 
was well.
