151986 and 151902 here. I use either a Canon 8800F (which I have been pretty enamored with so far), or a friend of mine's father-in-law has a Nikon drum scanner. Granted, the 8800 is a little on the slow side, but will produce both of the results seen earlier. Integration with CS2 and CS3 is what you would expect and the fact that it includes trays for 35mm, 35mm slide, and 120 film was the deciding factor for me.
I run Windows XP / OpenSuse on a Toshiba laptop, and decided to go with the non-Firewire version (read: mine is USB only) of the machine just due to the clusterfuck that is XP support for 1394 devices. (I'm patient about the scanning process.)
Doing higher resolution scans of film can take upwards of two to three hours for >3200 dpi with between six and eight frames of 35mm film in the cue. 1200 dpi scans of six to eight 35mm frames takes me in the neighborhood of about 30-45 minutes (depending on options and if we're talking color or black and white.)
I hate to sound like a Canon commerical, but to me (for the money) it can't be beat. Requisite BH link follows.
