Jan,
I am trying this route as I mentioned. However,
the ISA 50 pin card that came with the scanner
and was never used is a full height card and
won't fit in the desktop I have. The half height,
PCI card that I have installed has a 68 pin connection.
I only use that computer through a remote desktop
connection, so it would suit me very well to
dedicate that to scanning, if I can sort out the cabling.

Have you considered simply getting an older
computer that properly supports SCSI, and just
considering it your ?scanning station<
'H[ÝHÚÝ[?@ able to network them and move images
between them more easily than trying to get a kludge adapter working reliably.
I have a last-century Mac permanently connected
to my Roland Hi-Fi Jet printer for that very
reason. The printer talks parallel port to an
Appletalk dongle adapter. I wasted days with
tech support trying to make this wonderful
$16,000 (in 2003) printer useful directly from a
modern computer. Went through a similar exercise
with my Color Getter drum scanner, and
ultimately dedicated an old computer to it.
