cctech Digest, Vol 36, Issue 50

Re: Bull Take a look at the stuff I've scanned on Howard Harte's site, including schematics, for example this one: http://www.hartetechnologies.com/manuals/Cromemco/Cromemco%20Bytesaver%20II. pdf They are fine. Keep in mind that almost every PDF file that was produced by scanning is a JPEG internally. Sure, there are lots of such files that are crap, there are lots of bad scanners (referring to both the hardware and the people that use them). But there are also some that are excellent, superb, indistinguishable from the original. And since they are all JPEGs, JPEG can do this with no discernable compromise IF YOU DON'T TRY TO OVER-COMPRESS. [The schematic in the Bytesaver manual was almost unreadable in the original printed format, extremely fine, extremely faint lines, but take a look, for example, at the drawing on page 10 of the manual (page 12 of the PDF file).]
