What sort of scanner doesn't produce good old-fashioned TIFF files?

ObTiffHack: TIFF is a great format because the tags (the 't' in tiff)
mean you really can attach arbitrary data into the file.  Back in the
day someone in our lab invented an almost entirely new image format
for storing scans from X-ray detectors, which was basically TIFF with
a load of custom tags to store detector data.  The files had tons of
extra features but were also loadable into standard image s/w.
