Have you tried cramming them into different slots at the back of the computer to see if they're compatible?

have you tried a negative scanner?
you might require a smallish hammer to get them in tho

Isn't a negative scanner just a projector?

( Dixon webcam whores ain't what they used to be, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 17:43, archived)

Seconded!
Seriously though, most slides will come apart to get at the film by itself. They should scan better if they are flat against the scanner bed.

There are such things as slide scanners.
They're kind of old now, you might be able to pick one up cheap on ebay.
Alternatively, you could try projecting them onto a surface and photographing that... might be interesting actually, but probably useless if you're looking for the best reproduction quality.

I love this idea

( Dixon webcam whores ain't what they used to be, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 17:40, archived)

i got a new scanner about 6 months ago, purely because i wanted to scan slides.
most new scanners seem to come with the necessary attachments/etcs.

They can make them into digital photo things..

*Or you could as Jolly Jack to re-draw them all for you?

I did this once.
You can just display the slides on a screen and takes a digital picture of the screen.

You may need to change some settings on your camera to get the photos right, but after some trial and error I got useable results. They got very useable after some 'shopping.

Also, be sure to set up your camera on a tripod front and center of the screen. Then you don't have to 'shop too much to make your pics look okay.

eg HP G4010 or G4050
not cheap though
