I know Minolta made some accessories to this effect as well; they didn't
record the settings to the film, exactly, but they did save them to a
memory card that you could download to a computer, and cross-reference
with the negatives later to see the settings used on a particular frame.

The Maxxum 9 had a "data memory back" [1] that would save data to a
SmartMedia card, and also (if memory serves) could write things to the
inter-frame area on the film. Not sure exactly what it could write
there, because I never used it myself (although I did get a good sales
pitch from a Minolta rep once).

I think it basically just put a "serial number" for each frame, and then
if you wanted to see the settings used, you were supposed to download
the data from the camera using a memory card and look at it with your PC.

They also had a contraption for the Maxxum 7 [2] that provided similar
data-download features, except that it actually attached to the camera
via the *lens mount*. I don't think there was any accessory for
inter-frame recording on that camera, though. (However, it could
serialize film rolls, by stamping a number onto the leader, just before
the first frame of the roll. But it couldn't do it between frames.)

[1] A quick google tells me this was called the "DM-9"
[2] The "DS-100"

The Canon EOS 1v has a similar feature - they stamp a sequential film number
in the film lead, and it keeps in memory data for about 100 rolls, if my
memory serves me correctly.

And if you got a Windows95 program and a special cable, you could download
the data to your computer.

Cheers,
N.F.

The Pentax 645N and Pentax 645NII can print the frame number, exposure
mode, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, metering mode
and focal length between the frames.
