But overall, why not just buy a real $4,000 fiche
scanner
The pro imaging market is very pricey and proprietary. 4K
won't buy you much more than a microfiche reader with a
scanner back. Something that can do auto-indexing is closer
to 20K.
I have a mid-80's indexing fiche scanner that I've not been
able to get any info on, and a 3M 7710 with SCSI interface
that I've been trying to find software for about 6 months.
Most of the companies have either been bought by a pretty
non helpful company that I've been unable to get any info
from, or have gone out of business.
