Yes I am happy to give more info. I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area in Palo Alto. When I acquired the scanner from a lab in Brooklyn, NY the shipping was something like $600 for freight shipping. The Dmax is quoted as "3.2 minimum" by Kodak, but I think that is a conservative number by Kodak. This scanner is known for its excellent noise free shadow detail for slides.
The scanner is quite fast using the strip gates for film transport, and with a widebandwith SCSI link. The computer has gigabit ethernet so I usually save directly to my Mac that way onto either my SSD scratch disk or my larger fast hard drive (doesn't make too much difference in speed.) One of the beautiful things about this scanner is that digital ICE works with Kodachromes, and works great on C-41 films and has minimal impact on speed. Scans be saved as TIFF or JPG and the "raw" scan (TIFF after application of the look-up-table for density converstion/inversion) can even be saved as well allowing you to density corrections after the rolls entirely scanned if you wish.
The linear sensor is 6002 pixels long. I think in practice though you don't get quite the much maximum width with the different holders...
So something like is what I have been doing for high resolution scans:
35mm: 5840 x 4133 (magnifcation of 2)
645: 5967 x 3878 (mag of 1.26)
6x6: 5967 x 5670 (mag of 1.26)
6x7: 5967 x 6994 (mag of 1.26)
6x9: 5636 x 7914 (mag of 1.19)
Scanning Times and File Sizes
In terms of speed, some info I have is:

Med Res 6.1 seconds for 17.4 megabytes
High Res 21.6 seconds for 69.1 megabytes
6X4.5
Low Res 3.6 seconds for 10.4 megabytes
Med Res 6.4 seconds for 41.7 megabytes
High Res 9.2 seconds for 66.2 megabytes
6X6
Low Res 4.7 seconds for 15.2 megabytes
Med Res 8.7 seconds for 61.0 megabytes
High Res 12.8 seconds for 96.8 megabytes
