Jon, yes I saw the Pakon prices. At $250 I would have considered it.
I found out the LS2000 is SCSI & requires an adapter that no one seems to have any luck with.
So I went with the Better Scanning ANR class inserts for the 35mm holder.
I have had good success with the ANR inserts when doing MF film, so we'll see!
Thanks
Just in case it might be helpful to you. I am using old Imacon Photo scanner that has SCSI interface. When I bought it, it came with Ratoc SCSI to Firewire adapter but I could not make that setup work. I have sold the adapter, bought proper SCSI card and connected scanner directly. This was a time of 32bit Windows Vista. Then I moved to 64bit Windows 7 and finally Windows 8. I had no idea how to make all things work (lacking SCSI card and Imacon drivers for 64bit system) so I kept old Windows Vista based system just as the platform for scanning. About a year ago however I bought Adaptec 29320LPE SCSI card that connects through PCI Express slot. It has 64bit drivers that are supported by Windows 7/8.
Having that out of the way I started searching the net and found a simple trick to make Imacon drivers for 32bit Windows be accepted by 64bit systems. In driver .INF file I had to just update few lines to:
[Manufacturer]
%Mfg%=Models,NTamd64
[Models.NTamd64]
Bolded parts are additions that trick the system into thinking the drivers were intended for 64bit system. After doing so it was just simple matter of installing Imacon's Flex Color software. Now I have several years old scanner working like a charm with up to date OS. The setup also works for Imacon Precission II I bought on the yard sale.
It might not work for you as there are multiple variables involved - scanner drivers, scanner software, SCSI card drivers. Still it might be worth a try to get Adaptec 29320LPE and start from there. It is only about 55USD on ebay whereas prices of dubious Firewire adapters skyrocketed to around 400-500. I wish I kept mine. It appreciated more than gold ;-)

Ok, thanks for this new word Jon ! Your cat has an eery look
Finally got the roll through the Canonet, souped & scanned.
These are on TMAX 400 I notice a bit of grain in a few so will try TMAX 100 next
I let the Canon pick the exposure most of the time.
Found some lighting made it underexpose a bit but only when lighting was tricky.
