<P> Although it's certainly true that a decent SCSI controller can accept a wide
|
|
<BR>
|
|
mix of devices insofar as addressing and delivery are concerned, OTOH it's also
|
|
<BR>
|
|
true that slow devices can limit bus speed, effectively bringing all down to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
the "least common denominator". *That*, IMHO, is a strong argument for using a
|
|
<BR>
|
|
distinct (low-speed, cheap) controller for your scanner. Also, with a lower
|
|
<BR>
|
|
maximum speed, the separate bus will more easily tolerate the 6-foot cable
|
|
<BR>
|
|
length.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Didn't an el-cheapo controller come with the scanner? If not, check
|
|
<BR>
|
|
misc.forsale.whatever , a likely place to find people with extra hardware they
|
|
<BR>
|
|
don't happen to want....
