There's other slide-only scanners available, like HP Photosmart
S20, that are USB native. The SCSI versions were better than
anything before USB , and were popular for Macintosh (which was
the image-processing tool of choice 10 years ago, and heavily
SCSI based).

The big issue is software, because MacOS of the 1990s is
not software-compatible with anything today. The current
OS (10.5++) won't run the OS 8.x or 9.x code. After digitizing the
slide, your software package has to make a .jpg or other
compressed image file. If you want software for scanning,

Alas, the ES-10S model is listed as 'unsupported' there.

I kinda like the backlight version of a flatbed scanner
(mine is Epson Perfection Photo 2480) for slide and
negative digitization (with the factory software).
