I don't think so, 300 DPI is fine for many purposes and the UMAX is pretty
quick. I have a UMAX with a transparency adaptor but mine is fire wire. The
UMAX software looks for, I think, ASPI interfaces, and so long as the USB
adaptor looks like a SCSI adaptor to windows it will probably work. I think
the main problems would be getting a driver for the card..

I have an ancient 300dpi UMAX scanner out in the
garage,
useless for
most things, EXCEPT, it has a full size
transparency adapter and I
could use it to scan 8x10 sheet film.
I'd consider scanning sheet film at 300 dpi a waste of
effort. You'll surely get much better results scanning them
wet on a modern, high dpi flatbed.
