You can buy a digital cameras with Serial interfaces and usually USB so you can
use it with Wallstreet/Pismo. I have not seen SCSI, but they may exist.
Scanners just plug into SCSI, unfortunately, you will probably have to scrap it
to use with Pismo unless you buy a SCSI adapter which which your scanner
may/may not work with. However, I have heard of some high end models that have
both USB & SCSI II interface. Since speed will be bad to begin with, I'd get a
cheap SCSI scanner knowing that you're going to trash it soon for a USB
scanner. I got mine for $30. No need for an added NuBus card unless you have a
big monitor and need more than thousands of colors. There are no USB or
Firewire Nubus cards. Be warned, I bought a video card for my dock wich gives
me millions of colors at 1024x768 on a 17" monitor, but it slowsa down the
system to an almost intolerable degree.
ANY photo work will be excruciatingly slow, particularly editing. Video is out
of the question.
