Although I have both a Mac and a PC, I have my CanoScan FS2710 connected to my PC. There is no deep reason for this. As long as there is a Mac version of the scanning software, it ought to work just fine. > 2-Does it really give good scans with Kodachrome slides and b&w negs? Kodachrome scans are spectacular, though of course the area in which cheaper scanners fall down first is in their ability to capture the tremendous dynamic range of which Kodachrome is capable. I have never tried it with B&W negs, though I keep meaning to. My guess is that it won't do as good a job, proportionately, on B&W negatives as it does on color negatives, because it only carries 12 bits per channel. > 3-I understand there is no problem of feeding it with mounted slides.

All of my negatives are cut into strips of 5, but I think it ought to work fine with a strip of 6. It seems deep enough. Worst case, you'd have to turn the negative around to scan the frame on the end. I've never tried it with slides mounted on anything other than cardboard. I can't imagine that it would fail for other mounting materials.
