Is it Honda 50 at both ends? Most SCSI cards have Honda 50 these days. Go to a computer swap meet & find an Adaptec 2920 card. These where usually bundled with SCSI CD-R units. You can't boot off these but they are a perfect match for the 5P. I've probably got one floating around or something similiar.

You should ask: "Which scsi-card has suitable drivers for OS2/eCS?" Any Adaptec aha-2940 will do. Out of production a long time ago but easely to acquire at Ebay or so for a few pennies. If is is only for you scanner, that would be my recommendation. Of course, aha-2940UW and aha-29160 would do as well. An AHA-29190 would be an overkill though. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2004 11:24:37 +1100 From: Daryl Pilkington Subject: Re: hp 5p Hi Charles, I checked my 5p connector & SCSI controller & confirmed that: Its an ISA controller card The connector cable is Honda 50.

Now that conversation has moved on to scanning, can anyone help me find an OS/2 driver for a Mustek M8000SP scanner. The Mustek site only shows Win drivers for that model. I have recent releases of Tame and Sane but I can't find anything directly relevant to this model. If someone was brave enough to tell me that I have a boat anchor, that would be OK too - I would stop wasting time on it. I inherited this hulking great thing and flat bed scanning would be an advance on dummying up with the fax machine but only if there are suitable drivers.

FWIW I have a PCI SCSI Card.....an Advansys 29A, that works beautifully with my beloved HP5p Scanner, eCs1.1 and the new drivers from Solution Technology. I remember buying it new a couple of years ago (in the fear I would have to buy a non-ISA motherboard). Best thing I ever did. Now, I have "inherited" another HP5p, with the original ISA SCSI Card. At this point I haven't got it going with my sons old P200MMX, and worse, the ISA SB16 Card says "it can't be detected..." Does this look like some DMA, IRQ problem (which I don't have the faintest idea of waht to do about it). The next problem is (and it's probably the "inheritance" reason) the former owner (only being 10 yo at the time) moved the scanner without locking it, and it doesn't scan so well under Wintendo. It may be only a matter of mirror adjustment....but is it a big job, as it would be a shame to cast it to the outer reaches, as they are so good when they work.

The scanner is supported by Impos/2: http://www.taartenbakkerij dot com/bestanden/impos2.html http://www.ap-com.de/os2/os2software/impos/impos.html I'm sure you can acquiere a copy at Mensys as well. Rather costly I'm afraid. Also, as Impos/2 does the job, Tame/2 should do even so. But as nobody has tried the device already on Tame/2, you'll be the first one.

USB isn't a usable option here at the moment, but I now have a new question. I have a BusLogic BT-946C card in the machine to which I am trying to physically connect the scanner, using the external connector. The scanner is selected to be device 5 (rotating switch on the back panel), the card is device 7 and the hard drive is device 3, connected internally. Can anyone tell me if the BL card is auto-terminating, auto-detecting or (PITH - pain in the hardware - time!) requires a jumper to be set on the card for termination, please? The BusLogic website (it points to Mytek now) doesn't have any of that old legacy stuff *that works!* (hey, what are you, man, radical? Who says it has to work?

You have a couple of choices - reserve that IRQ in your bios settings for thr symbios card and then SB16 will select anotehr IRQ or try and set the symbios to use another IRQ. I think I managed to do that somehow - maybe in the readme for the symbios os/2 driver. Your best bet is to use a PCI scsi card they are rarish but very cheap ($15 to $20). I bought mine at a local computer maket here in Brisbane for around $20. I use an adaptec 2940 I managed to get an ultra wide that uses 68 pins as well - but that is another story for another day.
