Anyone want the manuals from a pair of Plustek scanners?
These are from a pair of sheet feed scanners that I tossed a while back.
I lacked the interface card for them, and couldn't find one, nor a taker
for the scanners, so they went into the trash.
I now have the two manuals from them. I also have a single floppy disk
marked Scanner Utility that is in the bag with one of the manuals.
Anyone want them before they get tossed as well (although now that I can
scan manuals, they will get split in two, scanned, THEN tossed. And the
disk will be imaged and archived... but before I ruin the manuals by
cutting them down the spine, I want to make sure no one wants them intact)

Hi
I did a search for "canon cat" with google in the news
groups and found the trick to enable Forth on the Cat.
There was a note from Derek Peschel that discribed it
well enough that I was able to figure it out.
It has two Forth modes. One uses the Forth engine to
calculate things from the text of on the page. The next
level of mode drops you into a Forth interpreter. It
seems to take most Forth commands but I tried things like
vlist and words but these were not part of the vocabulary.
I'd like to see what its vocabulary is but it may not have
a word defined to do this. It does have such words as
C@ and @ as well as it compiles new words. This means I
can do some exploring. I didn't try it but I think I
can even use the text input as source from the first
level.

If I need to do this, I make a copy of the book using a copier at work. Many
better copiers have a "book copy" mode where the spine is centered along the
center line of the scanning bed and the copier automatically copies both
pages. At the end, some page re-sorting has to be done, but that's it.
Then, I stack the pages on my 5200Csi with a document feeder attachment and
let Acrobat scan them.

Subject: scanning booklets for archive
I finally have a scanning system setup here for archiving documents.
Does anyone have a good idea of how to deal with booklets? That is, items
that are printed on 8.5x11 paper, then folded over and stapled. RIght
now, I have been opening the booklet to the center, removing the
paperclip, then cutting the booklet in half down the spine, and scanning
the first half as double sided then the 2nd half as double sided in order
to keep the pages in order. (obviously I'm concerned with multipage
booklets)
This is fine, for things that are headed to the trash after scanning, but
for things I might want to hang on to, I don't really want to cut the
booklet in half.
Is there any recommendations on how best to keep the pages in order? What
do others do? Or does everyone either leave them in printed bound order
for later reprinting (which means in the wrong order for reading in a
PDF, booklet printed order for a 12 page booklet would be 1/12, 2/11,
3/10 and so on) or do things the hard manual way by scanning to image,
and cutting the image up into the right parts before going to PDF (right
now I am doing things the lazy way and scanning directly into Acrobat so
I'm never touching the raw image).
Suggestions?

Come to think of it, my copier does offer that feature. Humm... I'll have
to think about that. I just hate to generate MORE waste paper in order to
go more paperless. Although if the item has enough value to me, then it
will probably be worth it.

Oooh... wanna share the scripts?
Although my scanner goes to a Win98 box, I don't object to transfering
the files to my Mac for post processing (my scanner is a Logitech
FreeScan sheet feed roll scanner... not the greatest unit in the world,
but it was free and its working. I should really look at the cost of a
sheet feeder for my flatbed Umax so I can go right to my Mac).

Hi,
Al, thanks alot to you as well ! I was still searching for the manuals of the M2333K drive, when I found them on spies.com .
Two Super Eagles are waiting to be connected but I need some manuals of these either.
My question:
Are there essential differences between the Eagle - and the Super Eagle drives (M2351 vs. M2361) ?
Could I use the docs for the M2351 to set the jumpers or should I wait until I get the correct manuals ?
By the way:
I got the service manual for the PRIAM V130/V150/V170/V185 drives 4 months ago and manuals for the CENTURY DATA Trident T200/T300 and T25/T50/T80 drives (I'm not sure, if the numbers are correct, I'll have to look it up the next weekend).
Currently, I do not have the time to scan them as I'm writing exams but if anybody is interested, I could scan them in the comming months.

I have a Andrew MAU under my desk at home. Am going to set up my own token ring segment... only problem is, it is a US box, and wants 110 v.
take Care,

A professor in the physics department at William and Mary college
needs docs for the LeCroy 8901A gpib camac crate controller. I have
one of the modules, but it's only docs he needs, which I do not have, yet.
http://www.physics.wm.edu/
If anyone has these, and wants to help him out, let me know and I'll forward
his contact info.
