<p>
|
||
if it's a microtek, then one of the connectors should be a 15 pin<br>
|
||
sub-d type connector. This is the option port. The TMA (transparency<br>
|
||
media adapter) or ADF (automatic document feeder) can be connected<br>
|
||
to this port. The other is a 25 pin sub-d type scsi port. A terminator<br>
|
||
that connects to this port should not be hard to find at about 10 us$.<br>
|
||
Another option would be to get a suitable scsi cable, and attach the<br>
|
||
scanner through the 25 pin sub-d connector. You can then use a normal<br>
|
||
(centronics) terminator.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The "older" Microtek scanners can only handle data transfers at a<br>
|
||
maximum speed of 5 megabytes per second. On *some* 2940 (./W/UW)<br>
|
||
implementations in combination with fast perhipherals such as<br>
|
||
harddiscs, this renders the scanner incommunicado. This may lead<br>
|
||
to lock-ups and potential data loss. *some* 2940 implementations<br>
|
||
can be configured to use a lower speed, but why use a fast SCSI<br>
|
||
card (and fast scsi discs) if you are going to cripple it. If you<br>
|
||
have a spare slot in your machine, and the card that came with<br>
|
||
your scanner is supported, I would recommend using it. Especially<br>
|
||
if you ever run into problems that simple termination doesn't cure.<br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
hope this answers the questions you had (and some others as well),<br>
|
||
<p>
|
