Used the same cable as I did with FreeBSD and W95 would not find my scanner (nor did the NCR bios mention the scanner during startup). I tested the NCR card by connecting my disk/cdrom to it and the system still booted (after I switched the cards, I hate plug and play ;-). So my conclusion (and Wilko also got to the same conclusion on the phone) is that the cable must be broken. I'm going to try to find an other cable (hard because it is an 25SubD-50HD, non-standard ;-(. Let's see what the new cable brings...
