[sdiy] Original ARP Service Manuals

[Karl Ekdahl]

Okay, got one up at http://www.sdiy.org/knas/servicemanuals/servicemanuals.php

Please revise the quality, my scanner doesn't do better then 300dpi sadly but it should be totally readable (i hope).

Any good ideas on how to do this effectively? Just doing this 8-page manual took me ~1-2 hours using Gimp for scanning/rotating/cropping and then Open Office to make it into a multi-page PDF. I'm a windows user :-(
