Default New Scanner

I just bought an expensive toy. From now on I am going to scan all boards at 3200dpi 48bit color to preserve the board data. This will be like the tradition of scanning manuals, but on steroids. I'm not sure how to share the raw scans since they are 3GB for each side of an S-100 card. Probably you'd have to mail me an external hard drive.

I have quite a few bare boards available to scan, but most of them have been soldered on. I may try asking Mardy if he would be willing to loan me some of his bare boards for scanning. I'm excited about the possibility of preserving this data!

How many of you would be interested in downloading or in some way getting PCB scans?

The specs of a 3200dpi 24bit color jpeg at 7 of 12 quality image of a S-100 PCB are:
~32938x18045 pixels
-45MB

But I'm having trouble finding programs that can handle a 32,000+ pixel wide jpeg...

Here are some samples of a 3200dpi 24bit 7 of 12 jpeg...

Most browsers "shrink" the image to fit the window. Make sure you zoom in to view them at 100%!

Here is a sample of the bubbly silkscreen.

Flux left on the board. Ugly!
