    The company I used to work for was writing software to run on a certain other
    less reliable operating system and we were using Canon DR-5080 scanners.
    These can do fast duplex scanning at up to A4 size and 24-bit colour - this
    may be suitable for your purposes although it is expensive and canon often
    seem reluctant to give out protocol information required to write the backend.
    There are cheaper models available too but they are mostly 1 bit mono.
