I'm interested in any pointers to articles or other information for info
on using and applying Linear CCD sensors.  I'm interested in learning what
I need to know to eventually construct a CCD panoramic camera.  But, I have
no experience with CCDs, linerar or otherwise.

I purchased a surplus 2048 pixel L-CCD from a local surplus shop which came
with a few specs.  It's a uPD3573D and its mounted to a small circuit board
which contains a MP130 and some surface mount passive parts.  The board is
marked Logitech and I guess it must have come from a small hand scanner.

In any case, here's what I'd like:

1.  Examples of clock drive and digitizer circuits.
2.  Suggestions for what other models of L-CCD might be easier to
    work with than the surplus uPD3573D I have.
3. Converse with people who have built systems with L-CCDs.

Thanks in advance.
