Some folks know folks that might have an Epson perfection 5-800 around

That's what I was impling in that if you only have a few then it's
usually best to get someone else to do it for you rather than buy the
equipment and spend the time doing it oneself.

What sort of res does said scanner need to produce? I have a 1200
flatbed. Thing is, even if it were up to the job, I wouldn't have a clue
where to start.

I have a Reflecta x7-Scan

From http://www.photographyblog.com/news/reflecta_x7/

The Reflecta x7-Scan is a standalone device that enables users to
quickly digitise their 35mm slides as well as 110 and 125 format films.
Rather than scanning the film frames, the Reflecta x7 uses a
14-megapixel area-array sensor for the digitisation, which promises to
deliver similar results to a conventional 3200ppi film scanner. This
solution allows the Reflecta x7 to produce a digital image in just 2
seconds. The new addition to the Reflecta range features a 2.4" LCD
screen, comes with an integrated SD-SDHC card slot, and boasts a battery
operating time of 2.5 hours. The device comes supplied with film holders
for three mounted slides, film strips up to six exposures, 110mm film
strips up to eight exposures and 126mm (instamatic) film for up to seven
exposures.

As it says, it is not high quality, but it is very good for scanning old
negatives for the collection fast, and then decide which one to have
scanned by a professional.
