A SCSI-2 scanner is using a 50 pin, otherwise known as a
narrow, connector.  An UW connector is a 68 pin wide.  While
it is possible for a motherboard builder to leave off the 50 pin
connector, it is unlikely.  Regardless, it is easy to verify before
purchase that the motherboard you are considering provides a
50 pin connector for your device along side the 68 pin connector.
You can get a conversion cable but again, it shouldn't be necessary.

Subject:[PCBUILD] UW SCSI vs SCSI2

I have a scanner that requires a SCSI II card. Am considering an upgrade of
my motherboard to one that has an onboard UW SCSI controller. Can anyone
advise me if the scanner that specs. call for scsi2 would work with this
controller or would I need to add in a scsi 2 card.
