Sorry Stuart - the slide adaptor for the HP 6200 series *is* a prism which
sits on the flatbed *not* a full blown T/A. There was a full T/A for the
HP IIIc, IVc, 6100, 6200 series but it cost as much as the scanner itself
(which was a crazy amount of money by today's prices - I paid over US$700
for my IIIc in 1995).

As I recall, I had to put the adaptor on the flatbed in the reverse
orientation to that shown in the instructions for it to work.
I only tried it with a few slides. The 300dpi from my Scanjet 3c
(or even bumped to 600dpi) wasn't clean enough to give good results.
It also helped if I used the scanner at night with the room lights
off!!

A *waaaaay* better solution. :)
