Yes, I suppose that's the case - an 'oldie but goodie' HP device. It comes with Centronics 50pin and parallel 25pin connectors.

Had the same problem with restoring the Symbios card last night. It's a pity that SCSI can be so sensitive that way. I have already had a local offer of a 2940 card, so one more try before swapping...

Funny, I do think the card is running the scanner faster on colour scans - might be self-fulfilling or wishful thinking, but I am not going backwards to find out! The key problem of the Symbios card holding up the boot process is gone. > >>Summarising - if the card is servicable and the MB is not wierd, could be >expected to work with high confidence - something like plugging in a ATA >>HD for instance, > >I will give it another go - as you say "I could have SWORN I had it seated >right!"
