Even inexpensive digicams are so good these days, that I think this is the best
option, for the widest variety of prints and film.
At that point, your challenge is one of taking a technically good picture, and
we are all photographers here, no?
Whereas trying to glue bits of ancient computers, cards, scanners, drivers, and
software together requires electrical engineering and software engineering,
combined with hardware and software archeology.
Who has the time for that?
Set up a copy stand. Figure out some good lighting. Get or use the proper macro
lens, extensions, filters, whatever. Then Bob's your uncle!
And you can do this for everything from microfiche to large prints, with
basically the same set of equipment.
The biggest bugaboo is with negative film. That will take some Photoshop (or
equivalent) work. Basically, reverse the slope and click "auto colour" on
something that's supposed to be grey, to get rid of the orange mask.
