Um, your maths is off. Assuming 150 dpi is the
minimum acceptable for
well-printed text (and some DEC fiche is anything but), and a page is
8" wide, you need 1200 dots per page width. A page width on the fiche
you describe is 6/16 inches, so you need 16/6 * 1200 dots per inch,
which is 3192 dpi.
My apologies. Still, 4800 optical scanners are $600 or less, so I still
consider it possible.
