I'll rip out that harddrive (even though I love it so very much) and let you all know if it works. Thank you very much. --Andrew P.s In response to the question about the 50->25 pin adapter, I'm not quite sure what was asked, but if it's about the form facotor of the adapter, it has one end which is the standard db-25, and one end that is looks basically like a DB-50 that's shrunken down, and has clips instead of screws. Hope that helps! So, i'll try it out with the scanner as the only device real soon! thanks! --Andrew Yeats On Mon, 5 Mar 2001, Doug Ledford wrote: > Karl-Heinz Herrmann wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > The Astra 2200 is working nicely here on a different scsi-controller though.
