we should maybe coordinate efforts then. I've got about 4GB of stuff
I've scanned for the 8 bit machines and associated copros, plus a lot
more less-common stuff yet to scan (unfortunately I don't have a paper
feeder for either of my scanners so it takes forever!). ACW schematics
should be arriving in the next couple of weeks :-)

I just scan everything to greyscale/colour TIFF images at 300 dpi -
OCRing is just way too much effort in terms of proofreading, correcting,
sorting out images etc. and can always be done at a later date.

I'm not sure what happened to www.bbcdocs.com - anyone? A lot of useful
stuff was up there and I was keeping an eye on that just to make sure I
wasn't scanning anything that had already been done!

cheers
