A couple of questions. 1) I have Apple II cards I'd like to scan and I have taken pictures with a digital camera which didn't give me the detail I'd like. Does a flat bed scanner harm cards in any way with the light running across? I realize with EPROMs I need to cover them up before scanning.
No need (and they should already have opaque stickers on their windows). The scanning light is of short duration and not a problem. You'll need to be sure that your scanner has good depth of focus. Some only focus sharply within a millimeter or two of the glass. BTW, a frame-filling >7MP macro photo provides plenty of detail. You'll need a "copy style" lighting setup with at least two side lights. -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
