I found a Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV. Alas, it is not a Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED which can handle 120/220 medium format film, so I can't use it to scan 6x9 negatives. But those generally go for several 1000's of dollars in good working order and this Scan Dual IV uses USB 2 instead of the old firewire 400, so easy to connect.
I can't complain about the price (€5), and its 3200 DPI resolution (vs 4000 DPI for the Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED) is not too bad either. For "driver"/software, VueScan is the way to go. It came complete with 3rd party case, power supply, USB chord, 35mm slides holder, 35mm film holder and software CDs from the Mac OS X 10.3 and Windows XP/2000 era.
Pretty cool find, I think. Now lets hope for a Coolscan 9000 ED find! (And lets hope this Dimage Scan Dual IV works ;-) ).
