There is (at least) one problem. The SCSI > card has a 50 pin connector and the scanner uses DB25 pin connectors. These cables are quite common and should work fine. If you look at the pinouts of a 50 pin SCSI, you'll find that many of the pins are ground. > I found an adaptor between the two I believe, I'm just wondering if > anyone else has tried this...
