After some a) checking of the card software utility b) web searching - successful and c) fiddling around the final upshot is a) I discovered the card was a 956C doh! - better since all termination settings are software settable b) we found an excellent PDF manual online - still referring to support for OS/2 AND quite detailed and yet c) we still couldn't get the connection right: either the card was not found by the BIOS and the machine tried to boot from a floppy or CD (the hard drive is on the same card) OR the settings stumped the card and it refused to allow the boot process to go any further So, despite the "fact" that the scanner is theoretically supported by the SANE/TAME combo, Ed is almost right: I'm on the hunt for a flat-bed SCSI scanner with it's own card - probably adaptec. Anyone in Melbourne or knowing of a suitable scanner in Melbourne please wave a flag in front of my nose or something Thanks to all those who helped me give it a go.
