Sorry if this is a repost, bad ISP problems...

with information about the Quickie scanner, schematics could
be scanned into the Apple II and then printed out onto copper
boards with my PCB plotting system.

Remove all the chips and parts from an existing Mockingboard,
scan it, OCR it, print more of them out....solder all the
parts back on the Mockingboard..  I may have an extra laying
around here to do this with.

Just need the information about how to get the image from
the Quickie scanner.  I can do line (trace) detection, and
also circle (pad/hole) detection in software...  I could
make a "train" function, to train patterns to be recognized,
and also an "edit" function to edit the features which OCR
will miss....  

I'll look on my Quickie disk today for scan to HGR image
type programs.
