There are, at least, three different SCSI types with each having its own connector. There is SCSI I, which I believe yours is, SCSI II, and SCSI III. At one point you use to be able to get adapters that would go from SCSI I types of connectors to SCSI II types of connectors; but I am not sure if they are still available.
You should check out places like Cables to Go and Cables Unlimited on the web; they may still have charts of the different SCSI connections and connectors on their site as well as sell some of the cables and adapters. For a SCSI adapter card, you can contact Adaptec. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David > Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 9:59 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS30 & Vista > > You're right Charles my Adaptec card hasn't got vista support, thanks > for > the link. > > Another question, does any one know if the external connection on the > SCSI > card that came with my Nikon LS30, is a standard SCSI external > connector ? > What I mean is, if I bought a new SCSI card would the external > connector be > the same. > I have tried to find information about connectors, but can't really pin > anything definite down. > I think that the connector on my card Adaptec AVA-2902 is a DB-25 ?? > > Thanks again for all of the replys, > David. > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Charles Knox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 11:54 AM > Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Nikon LS30 & Vista > > > I just noticed your postings, else I'd have weighed in earlier. > > Your problem may well just be that you have a SCSI adapter that isn't > supported by Vista - not all that many are, apparently, and if Vista > can't > run the card then obviously it won't run anything that's attached to it > either. > > I'd suggest you check here for Adaptec models that are supported, then > see > if you can pick one up used - they're not usually expensive now. > > http://adaptec-tic.adaptec.com/cgi- > bin/adaptec_tic.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.p > hp?p_faqid=14790 > > Several Adaptec models are natively supported and Adaptec list > downloadable > Vista drivers for a few more. > > Unfortunately I no longer have any SCSI gear to experiment with - > passed my > SS4000 on some time ago (well, there is an old Epson GT8500 gathering > dust > in the back room) and the couple of times I've looked at Vista just > made me > shudder and uninstall it. > > Maybe in another year or so... > > > At 04:00 PM 10/06/2007 +0100, you wrote: > > > >Thanks Tony and Arthur for the replies, > > > >I e-mailed Ed. and according to him also, it should work.
