I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but
I'll toss it out there just in case. The Adaptec SCSI
adapters were a standard for a long time, and
(perhaps) the best supported. The one that might fit
your situation is the 29160N, an Ultra-160 model.=20
(There were Ultra-320 models, which even had OS/2
drivers, but they were expensive -- the Ultra-320 hard
drives much more so -- and I think the SCSI users
tended to find them to be overkill.) Anyway, the
29160N was one of the very few SCSI adapters that had
an external 50-pin connector. That is what *my* Umax
SCSI scanner needed, but I don't know about yours. I
forget whether this was a true dual-channel adaptor.=20
You can find the connector details etc. online.
Should this be the right adaptor for your situation,
you can find them on Ebay, at semi-reasonable prices.=20
In that case, don't confuse this one with the plain
29160 that has no "N" on the end, as that is a
different animal.
We still have a couple of SCSI users in the group,
although I believe there have been recent defections.
HTH.
