John,
Use a flatbed scanner designed for film scanning. Something like a
Epson V700/V750. If quality is critical, you need to use a drum scanner.

Does anyone have equipment that can scan such negatives? Not urgent.
It depends on the film format. I have a flatbed Epson Photo 2450 that
can handle 120 and 4x5 film, but I would strongly advise that you get
this done professionally. There's a huge difference between the results
you get from a $20,000 drum scanner vs. a flatbed home scanner.
