We've got a *lot* of DEC documentation arrived on fiche (208 pages

the more useful

would be nice. So far the cost from commercial

too high or the quality has been far too low to

Sadly, you'll find normal scanners all have the "too low resolution"
problem to handle fiche. You'll also find a lot of variation in DEC
fiche quality.
Have you got much XXDP fiche?
