So, there is more than 1 kind of SCA adapter: 1 for LVD & 1 for SE? -- I assume that last means single-ended mode only? The adapter I have certainly works in single-end mode (altho' my Umax scanner doesn't like to be on the same bus), but it also has a 68-pin connection on the bus side, so wouldn't that mean it also works as LVD? Or is there a 68-pin bus that is single-ended. I didn't think that was the case... Heh... Everybody have a happy holiday weekend! -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
