well either your scanner has autoermination (highly unlikely) or you will<br>
need termination. nevertheless some scsi adapters are very tolerant about<br>
such issues (especially with only one device connected).<br>
<p>
i would recommend you to get a ncr/symbios logic 810a card (should<br>
probably cost around $50). this card is a quite good fast-scsi ii pci card<br>
supported by all major systems (including linux). the adaptec 1505 you<br>
mentioned earlier can only be recommended for people without pci slots<br>
(it is also a fast-scsi ii controller but is not capable of bus mastering <br>
which forces the cpu to do all the scsi-transfer work).<br>
<p>
so in my opinion (and i also own a mustek scsi scanner) for a correct scsi<br>
termination you will need to buy an external terminater and connect it to<br>
the second connector on the mustek scanner.<br>
<p>
for your scsi card i would recommend you buy a ncr 810a which gives you a<br>
good scsi controller and your system should (this is my personal<br>
experience) work without proper termination. of course with virtually any<br>
other card than the proposed adaptec 1505 you will need to buy a proper<br>
cable (the one packaged with the scanner won't fit).<br>
<p>
hope this helps,<br>
georg<br>
