Here at work they are throuwing out an old HP ScanJet Plus. This is an<br>
8-bit greyscale scanner. The manuals are with it, along with all the <br>
software. I'd like to play with it, but I thought I'd ask first and see <br>
if I'm wasting my time.<br>
<p>
This thing is *old*. The software comes on 11 5-1/4" floppies, and <br>
are copyright 1988, and are for Windows 286. :-&gt; Still, it appears to be <br>
functional.<br>
<p>
However, the manuals mention an interface card (from the pictures, an <br>
8-bit ISA card). The back of the scanner has a Centronics plug clearly <br>
labeled "Parallel I/F". The interface card is not available.<br>
<p>
Does anyone know what kind of interface card this might be? A friend of <br>
mine thought it might have used a special SCSI-to-parallel card. If it's <br>
a parallel I/F, I might take a swing at reverse engineering it. If it's <br>
SCSI, well, I might be able to hack up a cable and see what can be done.<br>
<p>
If no one knows I'll go bug HP directly, but I thought this was a very <br>
likely place to go for information. Thanks!<br>
<p>
Sincerely,<br>
<p>
