Someone else has mentioned the moviestuff.tv scanners.  The website
doesn't mention Super16 but Iit seems like it should work.  I know the
projector gate is enlarged.

I'm developing a film scanner that will hopefully be on the market
this summer.  It should be in your price range and can make whopping
huge files.  Please contact me directly for the sales pitch.

I've heard there is a low(er) cost Kinetta scanner in the works as well.
