Cool, I'll do that. Looks like I have stuff for a few different 2.X
revisions.
I also have a lot of 1.1 stuff; considerably more than is on Bitsavers
right now -- do you have more left to scan for that?
I also have a dozen or so Software Technical Bulletins from 1986-1989 or
so -- SunOS 3.x era (not a complete set). Any interest there?
I also have a ton of stuff for 3.0, I'll see if there's anything I
have that isn't already on Bitsavers.
I'm working through 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.1 this morning.
2.x would be good to scan.
Is the KV-S3065W working OK? I still need to write you with my
workflow, though it is a bit baroque. I like
to use an ancient scanning app written for W98 and ISIS drivers
because of the way that it names the resulting
pages, tumble to create the pdf, then Acrobat Pro 9 to OCR.
Yes, it does seem to be
working ok, though I haven't done much with it
yet, just scanned in a few hundred pages of a random manual just to try
it out. Looking forward to seeing details on your workflow.
You'll find the color dropout handy if you ever have to deal with a
document that someone took highlighter to.
Getting good results at 600dpi can be tricky since it the sensors seem
to be noisy doing B&W. I have the service
manual and the service app, but have never tried adjusting the levels
on the contact image sensors.
About the only thing that wears out are the rollers and the clear
plastic covers over the CISs (they get scratched).
I've run literally millions of pages through them. The rollers are
expensive ($300 for a kit).
The retard roller (PJDRC0054Y) wears down first, that is about $100.
Cool. Any recommendations for places to purchase spares from? The
rollers in mine are a bit dirty, but they seem to have cleaned up OK and
i haven't had any jams or problems with paper feeding (fingers crossed),
but I'm sure I'll need them sooner or later.
