Minolta scanner

The University of Otagop Library is considering buying the new
Minolta DPCS 3000 digital publication copying system. This is
hopefully an archival quality photocopier which allows books to be
scanned 'face up' thus eliminiating or at least minimising the spine
pressure exerted on books by the 'face down' traditional photocopier.

It claims to produce a digital image that retains clarity into the
curve of the inside margins, and the image can be downloaded into
computer systems.

Have any members of the list purchased such a machine, and if so how
do they rate its performance?
