[filmscanners] Re: LS 2000 running slow

Unless something is odd about Apple USB, or the converting from SCSI to
USB, that doesn't explain it.  I have two USB film scanners here
connected to my PC (Celeron 500) and they both run a heck of a lot
faster than 28 minutes a scan (more in the 2-4 minute range), so there
is likely another explanation.
