We run one of these off a Sun SS10, its damn good for greyscale. You should have access to Sunflash & FlashBack, you'll find more info over the past year on 3 rd party scanners and drivers for SunOS 4 & 5. Colour work we do with Agfa Arcus - not bad - and Sharp JX/610 A3 - pretty good - flat beds on Macs.
