Al Kossow just spent well over that amount for a *used* fiche scanner, which he plans to use to scan his large collection of DEC fiche. I'll probably help him with that as time permits. The fundamental problem is that you need at least 300 DPI effective, which for 42x fiche is 12600 DPI. None of the "inexpensive" fiche scanners have anywhere near that resolution. Even some of the expensive fiche scanners aren't quite that good. And if you want to scan a lot of fiche, you need a scanner that will automatically position to each page and autofocus. Again, the "inexpensive" fiche scanners don't do that.
