Data Translation and National Instruments I know; Lawson Labs is new to
me. Also, as I was just searching I ran into a lot of banner ads for
IOtech, whom I've never heard of.

Lawson Labs, Inc. is in Malvern, PA according to their web site. I like
their web site a _lot_ -- products and prices are all listed on their
home page.

Sorry. :) Be glad to help you whenever you're ready.

You have _definitely_ caught my interest. I saw a microfilm scanner a
couple of years ago that used a 7200x1 sensor; the microfilm was drawn
through a projection system and was projected at the sensor, which
continuously picked up the current "line" of the microfilm. It should
be easy to make a similar system for scanning motion picture film, which
is my interest.
