Recommendations for photo, neg+ slide scanners?

I'm scanning everything I can get my hands on. Documents, pamphlets, yearly appointment books, and now slides, negs, and photos.

What's fast, and good? I'd like to get a SlideScan Pro, but they're about $8,000. Nikon CoolScans are great, but they don't even work with Win7 systems; they stopped making them with Win98 systems.

There is a Kodak photo scanner that doesn't look too bad. You load photos in the tray, hit the button, and off it goes. I have a document scanner that is similar to that, and can also do photos at 600 ppi and turn them into jpegs, but it's not that great with photos; the output images probably aren't as good as what Kodak would do with them. Crummier scanners don't have a tray, and you have to load them in 1 at a time. Forget that. I want to knock this project out; I probably have 1,000 photos. No way I'm going to hand feed each one. Same with slides and negs.

Any recommendations?
