"Clark Lupton mounted a 1984 Polaroid Sun 600 camera onto his drone, which was fitted with a remote motor to click the shutter to take photos. This was a very clever way to mash the old with the new, with excellent results."
I did not imagine this Frankenstein of a connection to my veteran scsi slide scanner would just work. Literally plugged it all in and VueScan found the scanner and produced an image. I was expecting many, many hours of troubleshooting for this to work. My digital hoarder tendencies that resulted in keeping a pci scsi card for multiple decades with no reasonable expectation of it EVER being used have now been vindicated.
