Z-80's and Scanners

For my final project, I have to build something involving a Z-80, with
either a feedback loop or a coprocessor.

I've been tossing around an idea for a business-card reader, but I'd need
to know if there's a scanner-like sensor out there that's cheap and
easy to get ahold of.  I don't need great resolution (ie 10 pixels per
inch or something), as it's just to prove that it can work

On the other hand, I'm open to any project ideas that may be out there
fit the above criteria: a Z-80 microprocessor with fb or a coprocessor.

I don't need how-tos, just some ideas that will make me say "hey, that
would be neat!", so I can run off and try to figure out how to make it
work.

Note that having it be affordable would be a plus as well.  I keep
coming up with great ideas that require me to win two lotteries before I
can even get started. (sigh)

Thanks in advance.

... Sorry, I forgot all about the Amnesia Conference!
