Start by looking at http://208.190.133.201/decimages/moremanuals.htm
to see if they've already been done. I scanned the 750
prints that I had and those of various boards that were
included (DMF32, a few PSUs etc.). It's short on 750
technical docs though.

Use a bigger scanner :-) Seriously an A3 or 11x17
scanner is the best option. Otherwise you need to
use an image editing program to put it
all together.
