You could post the EPROM files you have online somewhere for other people to take a quick look. Maybe create a thread on the vcfed forum and add them as an attachment to a message there. If you zip them up they should be small enough for an attachment. I have only tried using IDA Pro a couple of

Re: Digitising collections of microfiche - Re: Looking for opinions...

Is Joerg still active on this list? In this thread in 2015 he said he scanned over 400 DEC sheets using a digital camera to capture the image projected on a sheet reader. Don't know how long that took.
