The box that looks like an external floppy drive (sort of) is a "SCSI adapter" for the scanner. The scanner itself is a T-shaped thing that has a roller on the bottom and the scan head. It plugs into the MiniDIN8 plug on the front of the box. "Just" roll it over the document and it digitizes the image. It is interesting to play with, but the scans (mine is greyscale only) leave a bit to be desired. I suppose they were "state of the art" at one time.
