found that seems reasonable is a microfiche scanner. You can get
a used Minolta MS-1000 (not Y2K compliant) with a proprietary
PC interface card for ~$2000 (US$). A new MS-2000 with a SCSI
interface has a retail price of ~$6000.
I found MS 2000 info here:

The more expensive Canon that I mentioned in a previous post will do 600 DPI
and it can handle B-size (11x17 inch effective) documents, useful for
maintenance prints, but otherwise it seems similar.
I might suggest that several of us get together to buy a Canon, but that
probably is only sensible for some of us in the same geographic area.
Anyone else in Silly Valley interested?
