Thanks Jez,
I can see a post from from Chuck in 2006 saying, "Several have tried
various USB to SCSI converters (including Adaptec) and all have ended
in failure."
At least that may have saved me some time. I have a spare desktop PC
that could be dedicated to scanning. I bought a top end Adaptec SCSI
card from Ebay and installed that. What I don't have is the 68pin
(PC) to 50pin (scanner) cable that I need. The only place I could
find them on sale, the price was many times the cost of the card.
I used to run the scanner using an Adaptec PCMCIA/Cardbus card in a
laptop. I even have a PCMCIA card holder that will go in the desktop
PC, but the cable length from the card to the scanner makes the
physical setup impossible to use.

Search out the archives for posts from Chuck Norcutt - he was the (Acer)
scsi scanner king.
And if you have zccess to archived Yahoo groups (is that even possible?)
then the Acer Scanwit group is where his knowledge is stored.
