The scans of the SIMMs I'm searching for, located
at
http://www.yubyub.net/ratio (plug, plug, plug!), were made on a $40 UMAX 32
bit scanner with the bundled software. I haven't had any trouble with
scratches on the glass, but I do excersize a small amount of care, and
don't slide things around. Also, at $40 a pop, who cares. It's easily
replaced.
I've scanned my VIM-1 in the past, but that's really the only
board I've tried it with. I was thinking of doing a direct scan of
the Be prototype video card though to get maximum detail but was a
bit concerned with putting a unique board like that on the scanner
without fully knowing what risks, if any, there would be. It
wouldn't be so easily replaced!
