On a semi-related scanner note, I have (at my disposal) a "Microtek
Scanmaker II" SCSI scanner, 300dpi, 3-pass color. I also have a SCSI card:
00:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U (rev 01)
Subsystem: Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI Host Adapter
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 32 (2000ns min, 2000ns max), cache line size 08
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19
Region 0: I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
Region 1: Memory at d5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)

The scanner has two Centronics 50 ports on the back. I can get a HD
68->Centronics 50 cable from eBay, but it'll probably cost me more than the
card is worth. Right now, the scanner's on a(n old) Mac. I can scan & edit
(s l o w l y) the images there using Photoshop (not LE) and scp them to my
machine. Is there any advantage to be gained by making it work here (other
than stability of the scanner driver, and eventual failure and
non-replacement of the Mac)? Does anyone know where I can get a 68->50
cable (relatively) cheaply?
