Peter,
While I am not an English major, SCSI stands for Small Computer Systems
Interface.  It is pronounced as an acronym "skuzzee", as in someone who
hasn't bathed in a month.  So, "a" would be appropriate.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Scanjet woes part 2


I had some experience using these scanners with Windows NT. In those
installations, I had a lot of trouble when I used the interface card that is
included with the scanner. There were no problems at all when I made use of
a SCSI card such as an Adaptec. However, my SCSI cards were standard (not
wide type. Can you try the scanner on another computer that has a SCSI
interface? (For the English majors, should it be "an SCSI" or "a SCSI" since
the pronunciation can vary?)

I got an HP HD50 to 50 Centronics cable and a Granite Active terminator for
my 4C Scanjet. To refresh, I have an Adaptec 2940UW that runs my UW HD on
the 68 pin circuit internally. Also off the 50 pin internal connector, it

Again, what is happening, is I power up the scanner, wait however long 1-2
minutes, then boot up. The scanner is not recognized at the scsi scan on
initial boot. Some time into the boot process the carriage will move about

Needless to say I am at a frustrated loss. Is this thing defective??? Or am
I missing something?
