The trouble with this is the time to do it. 10,000 fiche is at least 40, 000
pages. Doing this manually would take years of spare time.

For a large volume the best answer is to invest in one of the Canon Fiche to
CD-ROM Printers that has been mentioned earlier. I know a couple of people
who do this as a service business (and have been doing it for several years
now). The equipment should be available used if one wants to save money. I
have contacts in the microfilm equipment business if you want to contact me
offline.
