I have used a Nikon CoolScan V (LS-50) with FC3, but it only works with
Vuescan, a commercial software product available at www.hamrick.com. The
cost is roughly $50 -- more for a version with more bells and whistles.
Nikon does not support Linux and AFAIK there is no open source
software that works with Nikon slide scanners. The Vuescan web site has
a list of the hundreds of scanners it supports. You can download a free
trial version.
