And here's a little more from http://www.asf.com/support/Scanners/ FilmICE3FAQs.shtml#Q2

Q2:
Can Black & White film be used with DIGITAL ICE³ Technology?
A2:
DIGITAL ICE³ Technology consists of three applications: DIGITAL ICE, DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM Technologies. If the DIGITAL ICE function is enabled, then Black & White chromogenic films (C41 process) can be used (for example Kodak Advantix 400, Illford XP2 Super, Konica Monochrome VX400, Kodak Select B&W+400 and Kodak T400 CN). When scanning these films for DIGITAL ICE³ Technology implementation, the film must be scanned as a color image. After DIGITAL ICE³ processing, the color image may be converted to B&W using an image editor. Traditional silver-halide Black & White film cannot be used with DIGITAL ICE enabled. If the DIGITAL ICE function is disabled while the DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM functions remain enabled, then all traditional silver-halide and chromogenic Black & White film can be used. When scanning the Black & White film for DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM implementation, the film must be scanned as a color image. After DIGITAL ROC and DIGITAL GEM processing, the color image may be converted to Black & White using an image editor

Silver I believe is a problem because its transparent to whatever 'beam' is issued during the ICE dust detection phase. I just looked at a Kodak web-site and they say it doesnt work for 'silver- halide' films but no problem with C41.
