As it doesn't currently have a firewire card, I expect that would be a similar situation. I just remember that there were issues with either the adapter or the drivers. Don't need the 17 inch bed that much but when we do, it's great to have. It's an old scanner but I got it from a company that didn't use it that much and it was completely overhauled (doc feeder, belts, etc) shortly after we got it. We've a closet full of OLD Dells that I expect could be used to come up with something. I expect you're right in that a replacement pc would be the most practical route. If this scanner is worth it and provides an important service for you, you also might consider setting up a cheap old desktop with an internal PCI SCSI card to scan from There's also a network adapter (For $350) you can buy for the scanner to use it on the network. If your laptop has an expresscard or cardbus slot, you can get a IEEE1394 (firewire) port to use the scanner. It looks like your scanner had a firewire option. You might be able to find one on ebay, but no guarantees it will work or have drivers for your laptop/OS. There were a few USB 2.0 to SCSI adapters made, but they were buggy and expensive. It's also pretty complex and was tough to put in a USB adapter. Really hasn't been produced for about 10 years.
Over the years, SCSI evolved quite significantly.SCSI's a dead technology. It comes with an adapter card that uses the PCI expansion slots to connect to the computer. SCSI is a controller that can link different items with one data cable. We have put this article together to help you understand what a SCSI is and which adapters you can buy to make the switch. Now, if you have a SCSI port and are wondering how to bring your computer up to today’s standards of the USB, you have come to the right place. However, USB ports are more practical because they have a variety of uses and also due to the fact that to use USB, you don’t have to reboot your computer. The world slowly shifted to USB but the SCSI is not yet obsolete. Much before USB became the norm, there was something called the SCSI or Small Computer System Interface, which provided the same connectivity. Every modern computer comes equipped with USB ports to facilitate seamless wired connectivity.
USB or the Universal Serial Bus is the standard for wired connections today.
