Although most minilabs were made to include APS, 110 and disc would be a 
different thing, but......

Dwaynes. They do a fair amount of printing from all of the odd formats. They 
also offer processing of most, including disc film. That's right, those saps 
that send their 110 and disc fiilm to Rocky Mountain Film Lab for very 
expensive processing could have sent them to Dwaynes for overnight service, 
at less than $10 per roll. Add $20 for same-day.

Dwayne;s started out as one of many labs that serviced drug stores. As time 
went on, they found themselves as one of the few left, and continue to serve 
small independant drug stores with standard photofinishing. Truly amazing. 
Although the processing wouldn't be anything special if they are using dip 
and dunk machines, the printing offered means they continue to maintain some 
aging printers, or have special masks made for 110, disc, etc.
