high throughput photo scanning

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Can anyone recommend a decent scanner designed exclusively for doing
high-throughput scans of photographs? I must have thousands of old
photographs stored away that I would like to archive, and I know that
the quality isn't going to get any better. Doing each scan
one-at-a-time on a flatbed would be tedious, and I don't feel like
buying an expensive scanner that does more than I specifically need it
to. Any help is appreciated. TIA.
