Hi all,

We have an old monster 3M 630 Reader Printer which is supposed to allow us to view and print drawings that are stored on aperture cards (approx. 3" X 6" card with a microfiche type film in a small window on a cardboard punch card.

Does anyone know of any low cost (i.e. under $2000) devices that are available to scan these cards (1 at a time is fine) into a PC or to view and print the drawings from the card. So far all I've been able to find is a fancy scanner worth $10,000 to $20,000 and that is not in my budget.

Any info would be appreciated.
