err, no. Probably not. There are several types of scsi physical interface connectors, one of them happens to be a DB25 just like a printer port but it aint. Check the card that this connector is attached to, it is _most likely_ to be a genuine scsi card such as an aha. For some time HP bottled their scanners this way using 'proprietary' NCR5000 interface chips. These cards are not usable under linux because you'd have more success extracting blood from stone than info from HP. The reason for the confusion is that there is, separately, a device marketed variously as 'backpack' and friends which does indeed use a genuine printer port and electronically converts the signals into scsi at the other end, it is highly unlikely you have this set up, but covering bases here. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
