Houston Instruments makes an attachment for their plotters which scans
drawings.  They also provide software for raster-to-vector conversion.  You
could easily buy into this system for under $10K.  (You'll need AutoCAD for
the R/V conversion, I believe)  See your local Houston Instruments dealer
(or me! :-) for details.
