Anyone on this group have any experience with removing the sensing
array from scanners and using it as an optical sensor? I'm interested
in using some of the old scanners that seem to be all over the place as
optical devices for spectroscopy, etc. Problem is that I have no
experience with these critters.

Generally they use a linear CCD element, CCDs in general are read very
much the same way as dynamic RAM chips, there should be some info out
there that will help.
