I made a couple of the DEC LA-36 RS232 interface boards by removing the
couple of components from the baord, putting the bare board on a piece of
diazo film, and making trial exposures until I had a piece of diazo film
that I could use directly to image new boards with. I would guess any good
photo house could do a similar operation using silver film and come up with
usable artwork. Shooting a dot pattern of the holes would give a template
for NC drilling the boards.
