After some years, its time for another attack on these infamous DEC micro fiche libraries.
A collection with pictures of 5800+ fiches is online here now:

Challenge is now to find the few gold grains in this pile.
Best post here if you detect something new you like to see as PDF.
Later we can plan to scan these fiches.
Earlier I used this scanning rig
http://retrocmp.com/projects/scanning-micro-fiches/235-the-homebuild-automatic-micro-fiche-scanner
to save 340 XXDP listings, now at
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp11/microfiche/ftp.j-hoppe.de/
I hope there are better ways to mass-process these fiche collections now.
If not, I'll try to put my scanner in operation again.
And if you have a box full of DEC fiches sitting somewhere, and you want to get rid of it,
sent them to me free of charge. I'll see wether I can index them too.
kind regards,
Joerg
I like the XY-15 way as it frees me for a couple of HOURS while the scanning is progressing.
LMFAO
Hope you have several generations of people planning on dealing with this project.
Guys,
the next version of my Automatic Micro Fiche scanner is operational!
Much smaller than the previous one, which didn't survived the move of our computer club.
It now fits on a desktop.
See here a demonstration video:

Now scanning can start again ... but which fiche first?
kind regards,
Joerg
