Hmm, that's interesting. We're still on the look-out for something that can
scan DEC fiche, which IIRC is 16 x 13 pages per fiche. Of course the actual
scanning's only half the problem - there's also the issue of feeding the data
in and out of the scanner if it's going to be used for any kind of
preservation work, rather than one-off scans.
We've got about a million ICL fiches too that could benefit from scanning, but
luckily those are just a single A4 page per fiche and so a little more manageable.

Very nice! What are the physical dimensions of each page on the
actual microfiche? Also what resolution did you scan at?
The scanner would be used for more than just microfiche, which makes
the 8x10 capability desirable.

The physical dimensions on the fiche was such that there were 14 8 x 10
sheets across a fiche.
