I've had no problems scanning B&W film, Tri-X, TMax, and chromogenic 
ones, with my Nikon LS-5000.  In fact, two of my best selling photos 
are black and whites scanned with the Nikon.  One of them just sold 
as a magazine cover for the second time and they've both sold as 
gallery prints.  Black and white just takes a little more work and a 
lot more spotting than color since you can't use ICE with B&W negatives.
