Dear Emil,Check out the ScreenScan product at www.screenscan.com (or http://softwarefinesse.com/screenscan/) From its product info page, it says:

I've not examined it for a couple years, but what I liked was that the product is designed to retrofit a scanning device to an existing microfilm/fiche reader so you avoid having to purchase an entire machine from a vendor. Let's you leverage your investment.
Hope this helps. Regards, stuart
