I agree w.r.t. the SCSI interface, and this probably will be the first thing that will make using my Polaroid SS4000 problematic on a future computer. The Polaroid is a clone of the Microtek, and regarding film handling it's more tolerant of film that isn't perfectly flat than the Nikon scanners are. The problem is in the scanner's depth of field; you'd see the problem at the edges of the picture where the scan is out of focus when the center is properly focussed.
