I don't know of any FreeBSD drivers for any of these, but look in the
unified scanner driver thing that someone's working on...

Many HP scanners have a 'slide' option that you can buy. I also have a Kodak
slide scanner. (lil weird looking thing that you pop slides into and it
scans)

These are professional quality systems for photographers who use slides for
their color/resolution characteristics, not for someone who has vacation
photo's on slides. :)
