The Microtek 35t+ is basically the same scanner
as the Polaroid Sprint Scan LE.

I owned a 35t+ for quite a while, and now own
a SprintScan Plus.  Very similar in form-factor
and in their scan mechanisms.  The filmstrip
holders are identical.

The user manual for the SprintScan LE reveals
that its TWAIN driver is in fact Microtek's
ScanWizard.
