We use the Epson Expression 1600 with trans adapter.  It's USB if I were
doing it again I would probably toss for the fire wire version.  It has
batch scanning so we can put in 24 slides, set up the crops and so forth
then just hit scan all and go for lunch while the scans are being made.
The resolution is 1600 by 3200 and so far it has been very good.  We did
have to open it up and blow out dust once or twice, we were getting some
lines on our scans.  Mike

For the slides you really should get a filmscanner, but you'll
apparently have to compromise due to lack of funds to buy 2 scanners.
Perhaps the Epson 2450?

from the 1980s.
