Hey guys,
Anyone play Stargate at the arcades growing up? The original Stargate
arcade boards came with a daughter PCB, a scab used by Williams
Electronics to fix a design problem late in production.
This is what I am talking about:

in production.
How much of a stretch of the imagination is it to create one of these
one sided PCB's from a picture of a real one?
I understand the basics of the toner transfer method: get a reverse
image ready, print with laser jet onto cheap glossy magazine paper,
iron onto board stock, etch in HCl and H2O2, wipe clean with acetone,
drill thru holes. Sounds easy enough, BUT... what software would I
use to go from the photo to the reverse image of the final PCB? Will
any laser printer work? I took chemistry in school, so the etching
does not scare me, how do I drill the holes?
TIA,
Saltbreez
