I received an e-mail from Hasselblad stating the fact. This IS the copy of e-mail.
"Hasselblad USA Announces End of Life on Flextight 343 Scanner
Hasselblad is officially announcing the end of life on the Flextight 343 scanner. While the scanner is being discontinued, Hasselblad does have remaining inventory. Once the remaining inventory is sold, the Flextight 343 will no longer be available. Hasselblad will continue to service and support the FT343 scanner after its discontinuation.
There are no plans to introduce a new scanner to replace the FT343. Quantities are limited and orders will be filled on a first-come basis while supplies last.
