IEEE-488 is an instrument control bus and functions similar to SCSI (but is in no way interchangeable). IEEE-488 has a connector that looks like a parallel printer connector or SCSI connector (not the DB-25) but smaller. If it doesn't have such a connector then it is likely an Analog and/or Digital I/O card. > >Later Nikon film scanners were SCSI-2 based, the LS-3510, for example. > >I've encountered humongous National Instruments cards in 840s, so some of >them must have been used in the music or film industry. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
