I have used the following company for my own personal use for scanning 2 1/4 " square negatives, and they use a LEAF scanner with excellent results. I checked with them, and they would be interested in quoting on this job. The LEAF scanner will go up to 1200 dpi which is a LOT of data (between 67 MBytes and 82MBytes per image). I am not sure that you need to go anywhere near that high, but that is their current limit. They currently deliver output on either SyQuest or Bernoulli cartridges.I suggest that you contact them directly for more information:
