Digital ICE, or any equivalent system that uses an IR beam to identify dust,
will not work with traditional silver based b&w films.

I've scanned hundreds of rolls of b&w with Nikon scanners, been perfectly
happy with the results, and wasn't aware of any potential problems until I
read somewhere that there were issues.
