Fun fact: it turns out it doesn't matter if you have a 2.4 gigapixel camera if you LEAVE THE LENSCAP ON

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

@alj it's actually a 151 megapixel camera that takes and merges together 16 separate images

Anyone have any experience disk imaging 'Lanier' 5.25 floppy disks? Our Mitsumi D509V5 floppy drive attached to a Kryoflux does not recognise the disks. They have multiple index holes, which indicate where the 'hard' sectors start according to this web page: https://cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/disk-aeslanier.html

@matthewpburgess That page says fluxengine can process them. Could you save them to raw flux transitions with kryoflux, then use fluximage to convert those images to something readable?

@matthewpburgess ahh, I bet that's an issue with the index holes.
It looks like the greaseweazle has an option to "fake" those, so you could still capture:

designing my next keyboard PCB is going well

EDIT: There's a typo in the alt text. It's supposed to read "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll design a keyboard.' Now they have two problems"

This is for my scanning job at the internet archive. I'm scanning microfiche.
The left buttons are for the different number of images to take of a single sheet. I gotta adjust that so that we don't take a bunch of pictures of nothing.

Login, well, logs me into the program. Fill imputs the itemid (which is needed occasionally for boring technical reasons), Print reprints the last label, Delete deletes the last scan (like if I hit 8 and it turns out it's a 12), Auto is for an experimental feature where it assumes I'm as fast at handling fiche as the scanner is at scanning it, Enhance is for lightening up dark slides so I can be sure they're all scanned properly, and done finishes the batch and prints a label

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

basically the idea is that I don't have to deal with a regular keyboard or mouse to do the scanning. This is faster and gives me more desk space to devote to handling the actual fiche, since they gotta be unsleeved and resleeved and labeled and put away

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

so I can better turn my scanning into an assembly line, where I primarily focus on moving around the fiche, labels, and envelopes, and never have to deal with keyboard/mouse

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

@jaykass I know, right? I don't know what the fuck the original user was doing with those labels, but they're absolutely monopoly properties colored

@jsprbkkr good idea. scroll down another post

@otte_homan This is a replacement for a footpedal! The footpedal didn't have enough keys to be usable for what I need.

@foone y'know, I am curious, is the giant stone tablet from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream just a static image of text, or could it be made into a Death Generator?

Cause if the latter, the potential for comedy is huge

foone , vor 4 Tagen

@GeorgeWL looks like it's an image, not text.

@GeorgeWL but given how the game fades between different images on the rock, I might be able to pull it out? I don't have any tools for extracting images from this engine, but maybe I can find or make some
