Is it possible? I have around 30 rolls of APS film from the late 90's I'd like to scan.

I don't know the Plustek line very well, but if they don't offer an APS film carrier for these models, I doubt they can be used to scan APS film without pulling the film out of the cassette, cutting it into strips, and making a film carrier to handle the format.
Some Konica Minolta, Canon, and Nikon Coolscan film scanners had an accessory carrier for APS film. I had the Minolta ScanDual II and its APS carrier, it worked ok but the carrier was fragile.
Nikon made the best APS film carrier for the Coolscan IV and V series film scanners. Expensive as hell, but robust and consistent in operation. Motorized advance, etc. Best to hunt around for it and a Coolscan IV or V on Ebay if you are going to scan a lot of APS film, or just send the film out to be scanned.

I used to use the canoscan 4000us.. To do 35mm and APS. It came w/ a APS carrier.

As Godfrey says, unless the scanner u pick has a APS holder/carrier it is going to be a royal pain to scan the APS negs.
Getting into the cartridge and pulling the neg out is not hard... But the rest of the process is not going to be fun.

I'm happy to pull the film from cassettes and cut into strips.

Ok, thanks. $95. Ouch. Do any other members here have a need for on of these and want to split the cost? After I scan my rolls, I would never use it again. I'm in Australia.

Just wandered your website. Hmm, I could spend a bit of money there.
Good stuff, I've got you bookmarked now.
