I only need to borrow the 16500-66503, if someone happens to have one in
the Bay Area.

I spent some time over the weekend experimenting with shooting pictures of
boards, so there are a bunch of new images in various places on bitsavers.

Getting good images is actually quite difficult. You want a lot of light
to get decent depth of field on boards, but too much and you get glare off
the solder mask. and shiny surfaces.

There is one picture I'm particularly proud of
