I'll take you up on the color one. Do you mean I need a SCSI interface
card? I have one ... "old slow narrow" SCSI (the fewer pins kind).
I realize this is a problem between you and Stewart and your cable
supplier, but SCSI connectors come in many combinations of (old,new)
(slow,fast) (wide,narrow).
Good to know the number of pins (25, 50, 68). and to know the type of
connector.
DB25 -- not so good. A bastardization of the SCSI standard, leaving
out 25 ground wires. Probably OK for slow scanners.
50 pins about 2.5 inches wide, like a Centronics printer connector but
wider -- Old, slow, narrow.
50 pins about 1.4 inches wide -- newer, maybe fast, narrow.
68 pins about 1.8 inches wide -- newest, fast, wide.
I probably have made this diatribe before. If you remember it, that's OK.
