The DEC ones I've seen are extremely high resolution - from memory,
something like 11 x 13 A4 pages on a fiche around 1" x 1.5".
If this is right, then there's a scale factor of about 1:90 to 1:100
involved. That should tell everybody why even a good consumer-grade
scanner will not do the job. To get the equivalent of a 300dpi scan,
you'd need to have about 30000dpi. Nothing any el-cheapo scanner could
handle. (Let alone the problem of getting the sheet properly into the
light's focus.)
