Anyone out there with one of these things? I'd like to know a little bit about the I/O device setup if you've got the information. Cheers, Chuck

Scanning Microfiche

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I recently noticed just how high the resolution is getting on the latest scanners. Epson has scanners various scanners in the $450-800 range that do the following resolutions 6400x6400, 6400x9600, and 4800x6400 Optical DPI. The $800 V750-M Pro seems especially suited to Microfiche as it looks like it can handle up to 8x10" film at up to 6400x9600, with the correct orientation of the fiche being scanned I think that would allow between 150-200dpi per page. It even supports Firewire as well as USB. Has anyone had the chance to see if these newer scanners can handle fiche? Zane -- | Zane H.

Scanning Microfiche

by aek＠bitsavers.org

>> We've got about a million ICL fiches too that could benefit from >> scanning, but luckily those are just a single A4 page per fiche and so >> a little more manageable. You should be able to get very good images off of something that large. Scanning DEC fiche is a nightmare. Some is 25 x 13 frames (and NOT Computer Output to Microfilm). Total garbage even at 48x. The COM listings come out OK but there is just so MUCH (thousands of sheets) to do. Sadly, scanning from the original paper is a MUCH better source, but most of the paper was thrown out when they were converted to film.

The SBC6120 is good reason to get a better iron for me now. A decent workbench with power and storage I number one in my book. Lighting for it number two. Third is a good soldering iron. Around number 7 is a 'scope after a decent pair of VOM and DVM and simple logic probe. Number 6 is a quality set of handtools (cutters, needlenose, screwdrivers and the like). If I were to think on it I'd certainly put other tools and equipment before a scope. >PS. I notice most TTL projects are wire wrapped that I have seen on the >web rather than having a PCB made. > Obvious reason. Rework in the form of circuit corrections are easily done with wirewrap and can be costly and time consuming with PCB. Allison
