Tom,

You are correct--ICE and similar systems will not work on Kodachrome and 
B&W films other than the C41 variety. They confuse grain with scratches 
and go gaga. In any event, I find that ICE is overrated, and I do not 
use it even when I am scanning E6 or C41. If an image has a scratch, I 
remove it later in Photoshop.
