Got any pictures?
Nope, but I do have the boards laying here. Gotta get a digital
camera one of these days...
Got a flatbed scanner? They make nice pictures of boards.
Not necessarily. Of the three that I've tried, none of them had sufficient
field depth to do a decent job. They'd handle the underside of the board well
enough, but couldn't cope with the topside being raised off the scanner bed a
quarter inch or so by the components.
Hmm... I've never had a scanner that I've tried _not_ make a good
scan. I've usually used whatever was handy, typically HP products.
Here's a handy sample...

I don't recall the exact model I used, but it was a USB-interfaced HP
scanner purchased sometime in the past 5 years.
