Nikon Exiting Scanner Business?

I've been searching for a Nikon Nikon FH-869G glass holder and have been unable to locate it. Every store I've checked shows this as either discontinued or on backorder. I've had a notification for in-stock status at B&H on this for a month and they still don't have any.

A while back I queried Nikon about 64-bit drivers for Windows and got a very ambiguous answer about their making these available.

Any hints out there that Nikon may be exiting the scanner business? Maybe it's time to dump the LS-9000 and get an Imacon.
